Spanish, Associate in Arts for Transfer
The Associate in Arts in Spanish for Transfer degree (AA-T in Spanish) is intended for students who plan to transfer and complete a bachelor’s degree in Spanish, or a "similar" major at a CSU campus. Each CSU campus determines which the degrees it offers are “similar” and can be completed with the preparation included in the AA-T in Spanish within 60 units once a student transfers, so which majors are “similar” varies from CSU to CSU. please refer to CSU’s Associate Degree for Transfer Major and Campus Search webpage and seek guidance from a College counselor. Students completing this degree are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major.
To earn an AA-T in Spanish, students must:
1. Complete a minimum of 60 semester or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following:
a. The California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) requirements.
b. The required coursework for the AA-T in Spanish as listed in the Moorpark College catalog.
2. Complete all courses in the major and the Cal-GETC with a grade of “C” or better or “Pass/Credit” if the course is taken on a "pass-no-pass" basis. Even though a “Pass/Credit" grade is allowed, it is highly recommended that students complete their major courses with a letter grade (A, B, or C). Note: the UC system allows a maximum of 14 semester (21 quarter) units of courses graded "Pass/Credit" toward the 60 transferable semester units required for transfer admission.
3. Obtain a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. While a minimum GPA of 2.0 is required for admission, some transfer institutions and majors may require a higher GPA. Please consult with a counselor for more information.
4. Complete a minimum of 12 semester units within the Ventura County Community College District.
Students transferring to a CSU campus that does accept the AA-T in Spanish will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree (unless the major is a designated “high-unit” major at a particular campus). This degree may not be the best option for students intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus or to a university or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a counselor to obtain more information on university admission and transfer requirements.
