Economics
Associate in Arts for Transfer
Program Details
The Associate in Arts in Economics for Transfer (AA-T in Economics) is intended for students who plan to transfer and complete a bachelor's degree in Economics, 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 in the AA-T in Economics within 60 units once a student transfers, so which majors are “similar” varies from CSU to CSU
