PHILOSOPHY
Associate in Arts for Transfer Degree (AA-T)
The AA-T in Philosophy prepares students to transfer to a four year Institution as a philosophy major. It does this in two ways. First, it introduces students to the main questions within the major branches of philosophy, including metaphysics, epistemology, political theory, aesthetics, ethics, and logic. Second, it develops the critical thinking skills necessary for tackling those philosophical questions.
Students who successfully complete the AA-T in Philosophy earn specific guarantees for transfer to the CSU System: admission to a CSU with junior Status and priority admission to a CSU campus and to a program or major in Philosophy or a similar major. Students transferring to a CSU campus will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree.
Students are required to complete 60 semester units that are eligible for transfer to a California State University, including both of the following: (1) The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education — Breadth Requirements and (2) 18 semester units with a grade of C or P or better in the major and an overall minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU transferable coursework. See pages 98—99 for a more detailed description of Associate Degrees for Transfer.
