Associate Degree
Associate in Arts (A.A.)
Associate in Science (A.S.)
The Associate Degree may be obtained by the completion of all required courses for a major (18 units or more) with grades of "C" or better in each course, fulfill general education requirements, satisfy competencies, and sufficient electives to meet a minimum total of 60 units with a grade point average of 2.0 ("C" average).
Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T)
Requirements for the Associate in Arts for transfer (AA-T) or Associate in Science for transfer (AS-T)
The Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (Senate Bill 1440, now codified in California Education Code sections 66746-66749) guarantees admission to a California State University (CSU) local campus for any community college student who completes an "associate degree for transfer", a newly established variation of the associate degrees traditionally offered at a California community college. The Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or the Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor's degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. In order to earn one of these degrees, students must complete a minimum of 60 required semester units of CSU-transferable coursework with a minimum GPA of 2.0. Students transferring to a CSU campus that does accept the AA-T or AS-T will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor's degree (unless the major is a designated "high-unit" major). Students should consult with a counselor when planning to complete the degree for more information on university admission and transfer requirements.
At the time of catalogue publication, no majors for the AA-T or AS-T have been approved. Majors are under development. For more information on newly approved programs and requirements for those programs, please see a counselor and the SCC Catalog Addendum located on the SCC web site.
Certificates
Certificate of Achievement (COA) (12 units or more of degree-applicable courses) formerly known as "Career Certificate" is offered to students completing program requirements.
Certificates of Achievement are intended to certify that students completing all required courses for a major are prepared to enter the careers designated on their certificates. Certificates of Achievement require 12 units or more with grades of "C" or better in each course. A minimum of 12 units must be completed at Sacramento City College.
Certificates (C) (11.5 units or less) are intended to certify that students completing all required courses for a major are prepared to meet specific occupational needs, upgrade skills, or for advancement in an existing career. Certificates require 11.5 units or less with grades of "C" or better in each course. The certificate requires completion of all courses listed in the Required Program of study at Sacramento City College.
