Associate Degrees for Transfer Awarded in Academic Year 2017-18 July 2019

Background In Fall 2012, California Community Colleges began offering associate degrees for transfer (ADT) to the California State University (CSU) system. The two transfer degrees, the Associate in Arts (AA-T) and the Associate in Science (AS-T), were designed to provide clear pathways to transfer and baccalaureate degrees. For 2018-19, the ADT program was expanded to include guaranteed admission with junior standing somewhere in the CSU system, at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Western Governors University and at participating independent, non-profit universities in California for students graduating with an ADT.

Results Within the 2017-18 academic year, Cypress College awarded a total of 626 transfer degrees including AA-T’s (58.1%, n = 364) and AS-T’s (41.9%, n = 262) to 603 students. The top three majors for transfer degrees were Business Administration (n = 214), Psychology (n = 101), and Sociology (n = 53). NSC successfully matched and tracked 99.7% (n = 601) of these students. Approximately 83.9% (n = 504) of transfer degree recipients went on to transfer to four-year institutions (see Figures 1 - 2). Of the students that did transfer to 4-year institutions from Cypress College, most enrolled at California State University, Fullerton (n = 225) or California State University, Long Beach (n = 138). Represented in the charts on the following pages, are more detailed data on ADT degrees disaggregated by program, academic division, and transfer insitution. 100% 78.4% 80%
