The Associate in Science in Administration of Justice for Transfer (AS-T) degree program allows students to recognize the importance of ethics and professionalism within the criminal justice field; analyze and apply legal principles to the daily operations of law enforcement, the courts and corrections; and analyze and critically evaluate information to solve problems within the criminal justice field.

The Associate in Science in Administration of Justice for Transfer degree (AS-T) prepares students to transfer into the CSU system to complete a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, Administration of Justice or a major deemed similar by a CSU campus. Students earning an associate degree for transfer and meeting the CSU minimum transfer admission requirements are guaranteed admission with junior standing to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. Upon transfer, students will be required to complete no more than 60 additional prescribed units to earn a bachelor’s degree.

To earn the Associate in Science in Administration of Justice for Transfer degree, students must complete 60 CSU-transferable semester units with a minimum grade point average of 2.0, including both of the following:

-   completion of all courses required for the major with grades of “C” or better; and
-   California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC)

The exact wording of the law pertaining to associate degrees for transfer may be found in Education Code Section 66746.

It is highly recommended that, prior to transferring, students complete courses that satisfy the CSU United States History, Constitution and American Ideals graduation requirement. In all cases, students should consult with a counselor for more information on university admission and transfer requirements.

**RESTRICTION:** International coursework from non-United States regionally accredited institutions cannot be applied to associate degrees for transfer.
