In support of the established SB 1440, the Student Transfer Achievement Reform (STAR) Act, and the college’s mission, vision and values, Grossmont College has created the Associate in Science in Administration of Justice for Transfer degree.  Students earning this Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) will have fulfilled the lower-division major preparation requirements for a degree considered similar at a participating California State University (CSU) campus.

The Associate in Science in Administration of Justice for Transfer (AS-T) degree is designed for students who are planning a career in Administration of Justice and wish to transfer to a CSU to complete a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. A student may apply for this degree in conjunction with an Associate in Science in Administration of Justice with an emphasis in Law Enforcement, Corrections, or Forensic Technology, provided the required courses are met for those emphasis degrees. Many of the required courses for the emphasis degrees meet the requirements for the transfer degree. A student should speak with a counselor to verify if requirements for the degree have been met.

The following is required for an Associate Degree for Transfer:

1. Minimum of 60 semester or 90 quarter CSU-transferable units.
2. Minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework.
3. Minimum of 18 semester or 27 quarter units in the major.
4. A grade of “C” or higher or “Pass” in all courses required for the major.
5. Certified completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) pattern; see Degree Requirements, General Education and Transfer Information section for more information.
