The Associate in Arts Degree in Economics for Transfer is designed for students planning to transfer to a California State University (CSU) to pursue an Economics major or related field. This program introduces students to fundamental economic theories and principles while fostering an understanding of institutional structures, government policies, and global influences affecting the U.S. economy. It equips students with essential lower-division coursework in economics and mathematics required for CSU economics programs.
While AA-T degree recipients gain guaranteed admission to the CSU system, specific campuses or majors aren't assured. Transfer students to accepting CSU campuses typically need no more than 60 additional units to complete their bachelor's degree. Note that this pathway may not be ideal for students targeting specific CSU campuses, private universities, or non-CSU institutions.
