Theatre Arts For Transfer (AA-T)
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 Arts in Theater Arts 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 Theatre Arts department is designed to provide academic knowledge and practical technical training in all aspects of theatre arts at the entry level. The curriculum provides the essential lower division courses necessary for transfer to similar programs at four-year institutions, as well as assisting students towards employment in the professional and community theatre.
The following is required for an Associate Degree for Transfer:
- Minimum of 60 semester or 90 quarter CSU-transferable units.
- Minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework.
- Minimum of 18 semester or 27 quarter units in the major.
- A grade of “C” or higher or “Pass” in all courses required for the major.
- Certified completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) pattern; see Degree Requirements, General Education & Transfer Information section for more information.
