The Associate Degree for Transfer, commonly known as ADT, comprise the AA-T and AS-T degrees and are intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor's degree in a similar major at a California State University (CSU) campus. Students earning an AA-T or AS-T degree are guaranteed admission to the CSU system but not necessarily to a particular campus or major. Graduation requirements include completion of a major and either the IGETC or the California State University General Education-Breadth pattern.

There may be campus-specific major requirements which can be found at ASSIST.org   It is strongly recommended that students work closely with a counselor to develop an education plan for transferring to a four-year institution.
