The Associate in Arts Degree in Theater Arts for Transfer, also called the Theatre Arts AA-T Degree, prepares students to transfer to CSU campuses that offer bachelor's degrees in Theatre Arts. Ed Code Section 66746-66749 states that students earning the Theatre Arts AA-T Degree will be granted priority for admission as a Theatre major to a local CSU, as determined by the CSU campus to which the student applies. This degree provides students with an understanding and an appreciation for the art of theatre and includes courses in acting, technical theatre, rehearsal, and performance as well as an introduction to the theatre and play analysis. Completion of this curriculum will provide preparation for future theatre studies. The Theatre Arts AA-T Degree requires a total of 60 units of courses as indicated below. 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) The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education – Breadth Requirements. (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 courses in the major only if the P is defined to be equivalent to a C or better. The degree requires 18-19 units.
