The Associate of Arts in English for Transfer (AA-T) prepares students to transition into an English major at a California State University. This degree aligns with the AB 1440 Transfer Curriculum Model for CSU. Under the Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (Education Code sections 66746-66749), community college graduates earning this transfer degree are assured admission to a CSU campus. The AA-T in English is tailored for those aiming to pursue a bachelor's degree in English at a four-year institution. While this degree guarantees entry into the CSU system, specific campuses or majors aren't included in this guarantee.
Career Paths
Graduates with an AA in English often work as office administrators, tutors, secretaries, junior copywriters, and customer account specialists. Those earning a BA in English may pursue careers in administration, management, professional writing, education, editing,
advertising, public relations, marketing, and publishing. Many students choose English as a preparatory major for law school.
