Associate in Science for Transfer



Program Details

The Associate in Science in Film, Television, and Electronic Media for Transfer (AS-T in Film, Television, and Electronic Media) is intended for students who plan to transfer and complete a bachelor's degree in Radio-Television-Film, Television-Film, Television, Video, Film, and Electronic Arts, 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 AS-T in AS-T in Film, Television, and Electronic Media within 60 units once a student transfers, so which majors are “similar” varies from CSU to CSU.
