Communication Studies
Associate in Arts for Transfer Degree (AA-T)
The Associate in Arts in Communication for Transfer Degree is designed to prepare students
to complete the baccalaureate degree in communication upon transferring into the CSU sys-
tem. Communication skills are essential to forming and maintaining personal relationships,
acquiring and excelling in a job, and relating to the world around us. Through the study and
practice of interpersonal, professional, and intercultural communication skills, students will
learn how their perceptions and self-esteem affect their interactions with others. Beyond
this, students will improve their abilities to speak, write, and present information effectively,
whether in face-to-face interactions or in public or mass-media settings.
Students who successfully complete the AA-T in Communication Studies earn
specific guarantees for transfer to the CSU system: admission to a CSU with junior status and
priority admission to their local CSU campus and to a program or major in communication
studies or a similar major. Students transferring to a CSU campus will be required to complete
no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree.
Students are required to complete 60 semester units that are eligible for transfer to
a California State University, including both of the following: (1) The Intersegmental General
Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Educa-
tion – Breadth Requirements and (2) 18-19 semester units with a grade of C or P or better
in the major and an overall minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU
transferable coursework. See page 60 for a more detailed description of Associate Degrees
for Transfer.
You are advised to consult with a Berkeley City College counselor for additional
information and to verify transfer requirements.
Note: Although it is possible to fulfill the requirements for the Associate Degree for Transfer
by completing the IGETC for UC pattern, admission to CSU requires completion of an Oral
Communication course (IGETC Area 1C; CSU GE Area A-1); therefore, students who plan
to transfer to CSU should complete this course as part of their GE or elective units.
