Associate in Arts for Transfer - Law, Public Policy, and Society

Miracosta College

Students completing this associate degree will have completed lower-division major preparation requirements for an American Studies degree, an emphasis or option within an American Studies degree, or a degree considered similar, such as Public Administration, at a participating California State University (CSU) campus. Following transfer to a participating CSU campus, students will be required to complete no more than 60 units to obtain a bachelor's degree however, some CSU campuses accepting this degree may require additional lower-division major preparation. This degree may not be appropriate preparation for students transferring to a CSU campus not accepting this degree or to a university or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a MiraCosta counselor for further information regarding the most efficient pathway to transfer as an American Studies or Public Administration major and to determine which CSU campuses are participating in this program. Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of basic concepts of American law and connect them to contemporary societal issues, and transfer to a California State University baccalaureate program in American Studies, Public Administration or a related major.
