The Associate in Science in Computer Science for Transfer degree (AS-T in Computer Science) is a 60-unit program that provides students with the lower-division coursework required for transfer to a California State University (CSU) institution for a major in computer science, with the goal of preparing for careers or further education in technology-related fields. Students must complete the following requirements: 1. 60 semester or 90 quarter CSU-transferable units. 2. the California General Education Transfer Curriculum pattern (Cal-GETC). 3. a minimum of 18 semester or 27 quarter units in the major or area of emphasis as determined by the community college district. 4. obtainment of a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.0. 5. earn a grade of "C" (or "P") or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis.
