PSYCHOLOGY
Associate in Arts for Transfer Degree (AA-T)
The Associate in Arts in Psychology for Transfer Degree is designed for students planning to transfer into the psychology major. A study of psychology is built upon the scientific study of human behavior and mental processes. Students pursuing the AA-T in Psychology will study the nature of consciousness and the development of the person; basic processes of human perception, learning, cognition and motivation; the relationship of behavior to physiology; and the nature of psychological disorders and how psychologists use their knowledge to help improve the quality of people ’s lives.
Students who successfully complete the AA-T in Psychology 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 psychology 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) 19—20 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.
Students are advised to consult with a Berkeley City College Counselor and/or the Social Sciences Department Chair for additional information and to verify transfer requirements.
