ASSOCIATE IN ARTS IN THEATRE ARTS TRANSFER DEGREE (AA-T)
 
This curriculum is designed to provide an opportunity for the Theater major to achieve an Associate in Arts in Theater for Transfer (AA-T in Theater) which completes the first and second year requirements for transfer to a four-year public California institution.  Students should consult a counselor, the Transfer Center and the catalog of the transfer college or university to plan a specific program of study to meet the college or university's requirements. Note: Courses that fulfill major requirements for an Associate Degree for Transfer at Cypress College might not be the same as those required for completing the major at all transfer institutions offering a Baccalaureate Degree. The Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act guarantees admission to a California State University (CSU) campus for any community college student who completes an "associate degree for transfer". Students completing these degrees (AA-T) are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. Students transferring to a CSU campus that does accept the AA-T will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor's degree (unless the major is designated "high-unit" major).  To earn an AA-T in Theater students must complete the following requirements: (1) a minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in the Theater major with a minimum grade of "C"; (2) California State University General Education Breadth requirements (CSU GE Breadth) or the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (CSU IGETC); (3) completion of 60 semester or 90 quarter units of CSU transferable coursework; and (4) have an overall GPA of 2.0.
