The Associate in Science in Administration of Justice for Transfer (AS-T) degree program allows students to recognize the importance of ethics and professionalism within the criminal justice field; analyze and apply legal principles to the daily operations of law enforcement, the courts and corrections; and analyze and critically evaluate information to solve problems within the criminal justice field.

The Associate in Science in Administration of Justice for Transfer degree (AS-T) prepares students to transfer into the CSU system to complete a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, Administration of Justice or a major deemed similar by a CSU campus. Students earning an associate degree for transfer and meeting the CSU minimum transfer admission requirements are guaranteed admission with junior standing to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. Upon transfer, students will be required to complete no more than 60 additional prescribed units to earn a bachelor’s degree.

To earn the Associate in Science in Administration of Justice for Transfer degree, students must complete 60 CSU-transferable semester units with a minimum grade point average of 2.0, including both of the following:

completion of all courses required for the major with grades of “C” or better; and
completion of the California State University General Education Breadth (CSU GE) pattern or the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) pattern. (Students transferring to a CSU campus using IGETC must complete Area 1C Oral Communication to be eligible for admission.)
The exact wording of the law pertaining to associate degrees for transfer may be found in Education Code Section 66746.

It is highly recommended that, prior to transferring, students complete courses that satisfy the CSU United States History, Constitution and American Ideals graduation requirement. In all cases, students should consult with a counselor for more information on university admission and transfer requirements.

RESTRICTION: International coursework from non-United States regionally accredited institutions cannot be applied to associate degrees for transfer.

Women and Gender Studies is an interdisciplinary program that involves an interdisciplinary, multicultural, and transnational perspective of gender inequality. Based on the conviction that gender roles are socially constructed through time, the program employs perspectives from disciplines such as history, literature, philosophy, sociology, politics, and psychology to examine how gendered experiences are created and shaped by social and economic institutions, political movements, and individual experiences. The course of study centers on teaching students how to use feminist and social justice frameworks to analyze gender oppression within local, national, and global contexts. The program encourages an intersectional analysis, recognizing how gender is co-constructed with other aspects of identity such as race, class, sexuality, age, ability, and nationality. Women and Gender Studies is inclusive of human rights related to sexual orientation and gender identity.

Student Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this program, the student will be able to:

✔ identify women’s activism and social movements that have contributed towards gender equality in the local, national, and global contexts.

✔ explain the role of oppression and privilege in the lives of women from an intersectional perspective, considering the influence of race, class, ethnicity, age, ability, sexuality, and other aspects of identity.

✔ identify, summarize, and apply a variety of feminist theories.
