AA-T Degree
Humanities Division
www.elcamino.edu/academics/humanities
The English program develops the student’s ability to read both prose and poetry with understanding and discernment. The student will acquire competence in writing college-level expository essays and applying research strategies. The student will also develop interpretive and analytical skills through exposure to a wide range of literature. Competencies will be assessed primarily by evaluating the student’s critical thinking abilities as demonstrated through written work. Completion of the program prepares the English major for any profession or industry requiring strong communication skills as well as transfer.
The Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing the AA-T are given priority consideration for admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. In order to earn an AA-T degree, students must complete: 1. Completion of 60 semester units that are eligible for
transfer to the California State University. 2. The Intersegmental General Education Transfer
Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education – Breadth Requirements.
3. A minimum of 18 semester units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district.
4. Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0. 5. A grade of “C” or better in all courses required for the
major or area of emphasis.
Students who have completed the AA-T will have a strong academic foundation in the field and will be prepared for upper division baccalaureate study at the university. The coursework will satisfy most of the lower-division requirements at many institutions within the California State University system. Students transferring to a UC, private, or out of state university should consult with an El Camino College counselor when planning to complete the degree since transfer requirements may be slightly different than those required for the AA-T.
