The Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) is a joint program between the California Community Colleges and the California State University (CSU) that makes it easier to transfer.  Students who earn the ADT are guaranteed admissions to a CSU campus in a similar major to their ADT. In addition, they are guaranteed that they can finish the Bachelor Degree with an additional 60 units.

The Liberal Arts degree with Area of Emphasis provides students with the opportunity to earn a degree within a broad liberal arts education. Earning an Associate Degree may or may not be the most effective path to fulfilling transfer requirements.
