The Associate in Science in Law, Public Policy, and Society for Transfer (AA-T) is intended for students who plan to transfer and complete a bachelor's degree in American Studies, Communications, Criminal Justice, Criminology, Global Intelligence and National Security, International Relations, Philosophy, Political Science, Social and Behavior Sciences (Political Economy Concentration), or a "similar" major at a CSU campus. Each CSU campus determines which of the degrees it offers are “similar” and can be completed with the preparation included The AS-T in the AA-T in Law, Public Policy and Society within 60 units once a student transfers, so which majors are “similar” varies from CSU. For a current list of what majors (and what options or areas of emphasis within that major) have been designated as “similar” to this degree at each CSU campus, please refer to the CSU’s Associate Degree for Transfer Major and Campus Search webpage and seek guidance from a Moorpark College counselor. Students completing the AA-T in Law, Public Policy and Society degree are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not necessarily to a particular CSU campus or major. 

To earn an AA-T in Law, Public Policy, and Society, students must:

1. Complete 60 semester or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following:
   1. Complete the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education-Breadth (CSU GE-Breadth) requirements    
   2. Complete the required coursework for the AA-T in Law, Public Policy, and Society as listed in the Moorpark College catalog.
2. Obtain a minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0. While a minimum 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.
3. Obtain a grade of “C” or better or “P” in all courses required in the major. Even though a “pass-no-pass” is allowed (Title 5 §55062), it is highly recommended that students complete their major courses with a letter grade (A, B, or C).
4. Meet the residency requirement. For students in the Ventura County Community College District, a minimum of 12 units must be completed in residence at the college granting the degree.

Students transferring to a CSU campus that accepts the AA-T in Law, Public Policy, and Society 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.
