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 of 60 semester or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following:
   1. The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education-Breadth (CSU GE-Breadth) requirements.
   2. The coursework required for the AA-T in Spanish as listed in the Moorpark College catalog.
2. Obtain a minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. 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. Complete requirements in residency. For students in the Ventura County Community College District, a minimum of 12 semester units must be completed in residence within the 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.

Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to: 

• to communicate effectively using all modalities of language.
