Economics (AA-T)

Santa Rosa Junior College

The Associate in Arts for Transfer in Economics will prepare and guide students seeking a bachelor's degree in Economics and will fulfill the lower division requirements for that degree.

The Associate in Arts for Transfer in Economics for Transfer degree is designed to provide a clear pathway to a CSU major and baccalaureate degree. California Community College students who are awarded an ADT are guaranteed admission with junior standing somewhere in the CSU system. This priority does not guarantee admission to specific majors or campuses. Current and prospective community college students are encouraged to meet with a counselor to develop an educational plan that best meets their goals and needs.
