Division: Social Sciences
PROGRAM CODE: 2A42306
The Global Studies Associate in Arts Degree for Transfer, also called the Global Studies AA-T Degree, prepares students to transfer to CSU campuses that offer bachelor's degrees in Global Studies. Global Studies is an interdisciplinary program designed to increase knowledge and understanding of the processes of globalization and their impacts on societies, cultures, and environments around the world. The Global Studies program provides students with knowledge of critical issues that affect their lives and community, as well as the affairs of other cultures, societies, and nations. An understanding of the world’s social, political, economic, and natural systems and their increasing interdependence, along with an appreciation of the diversity of human culture, will supply the student with a strong background for working in a global economy, for living in a multicultural society, and for making intelligent decisions as global citizens. The Global Studies Associate in Arts Degree for Transfer is designed to prepare students to transfer to local California State Universities (CSUs) and other colleges and universities offering similar degrees. Students who complete the Global Studies AA-T will be ensured preferential transfer status to local CSUs for Global Studies majors and majors in related disciplines such as Global Politics, International Relations, International Studies, and Comparative Government. Ed Code Section 66746-66749 states students earning the Global Studies AA-T degree will be granted priority for admission as a Global Studies major to a local CSU, as determined by the CSU campus to which the student applies. The following is required for all AA-T or AS-T degrees, and there are no additional graduation requirements: 1. Completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following: a. California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC); b. A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district. 2. Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0. 3. ADTs also require that students must earn a C or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis. A P (Pass) grade is an acceptable grade for a course in the major only if the P is defined to be equivalent to a C or better. This degree requires a total of 21-23 units.
