JOURNALISM
Associate in Arts in
Journalism for Transfer
A.A.-T. Degree
The Journalism major consists of courses appropriate for an Associate in Arts in Journalism for Transfer degree, which provides a foundational understanding of the discipline, a breadth of coursework in the discipline and preparation for transfer to any CSU that accepts the Transfer Model Curriculum (TMC). Jobs in the field include journalist, multimedia producer, editor, writer, publication designer, copy editor, social media specialist, content producer, newsletter editor, public relations representative, publicist, sportswriter and photojournalist.
The Associate in Arts in Journalism for Transfer is intended
for students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree in Journalism (or an approved similar major) at a CSU campus. Students completing this degree are guaranteed admission
to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. Students transferring to a CSU campus that does accept this degree will be required to complete no more than 60 (semester) units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree. This degree may not be the best option for students intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus or to a university or college that is not part of the CSU system. In all cases, students should consult with a counselor for more information on university admission and transfer requirements.

writing, including grammar, punctuation, story structure and
