Overview

The Associate in Arts in English for Transfer (AA-T in English) is designed to provide a clear pathway to a CSU institution for students who plan to transfer and complete a CSU major or baccalaureate degree in English. California Community College students who are awarded an Associate in Arts in English for Transfer (AA-T in English) are guaranteed admission with junior standing somewhere in the CSU system and given priority admission consideration to their local CSU institution or to a program that is deemed similar to their community college major. This priority does not guarantee admission to specific majors or institutions. The Associate in Arts in English for Transfer (AA-T in English) provides students with a strong foundation in critical reading, writing, and thinking as well as literary analysis and research methods. Students majoring in English enroll in survey courses, which expose them to a wide range of types and styles of literature; courses in literature from many cultures and eras; and courses in special topics such as film and creative writing. Upon completion of the Associate in Arts in English for Transfer (AA-T in English), students will possess the knowledge and skills required for upper-division coursework in English. In addition, students will have gained preparation for careers in fields such as law, government, business, entertainment, advertising, public relations, writing, editing, and education. Program Learning Outcomes: Students will write focused organized, well-developed essays that support clear thesis statements and demonstrate competence in Standard English grammar and usage. Students will demonstrate critical thinking skills by analyzing and evaluating academic essays and literature. Students will formulate and clearly communicate their positions on diverse issues. Students will write a research paper that demonstrates the effective evaluation, integration, and documentation of sources.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
