Description:
See state issued Transfer Model Curriculum (TMC) template for any further clarification regarding program requirements.
This Associate in Arts for Transfer in Social Justice Studies is designed to provide a clear pathway to a CSU major and baccalaureate programs in Social Justice, Ethnic Studies, Women or Gender Studies, or to programs focused on ethnic groups such as Chicano/Latino Studies, African American Studies, Asian American Studies, or Native American Studies. Social Justice Studies explores the experiences of individuals from different interdisciplinary studies of different groups and the complex relations and phenomena of culture, power, oppression, equity, and equality from the perspective of what is fair and just. California Community College students who are awarded an ADT are guaranteed admission with junior standing somewhere in the CSU system. This priority does not guarantee admission to specific majors or campuses. Current and prospective community college students are encouraged to meet with a counselor to develop an educational plan that best meets their goals and needs.

(1) Complete 60 semester units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following:

A maximum of 12 units are allowed with a P grade for students earning an Associate Degree. For detailed information, please refer to the SRJC Grading Policy.
