U.S. Education System and Community College

Community Colleges have a common mission to promote and support learning and student success. Almost 50% of all U.S. undergraduates begin their study at a community college - one reason why U.S. community colleges are becoming more widely known to international students worldwide as "the gateway to U.S. higher education." These 2-year institutions, also known as technical or junior colleges, award associate degrees (or certificates) upon completion of a 2-year program of study. An associate degree enables you to Transfer to a 4-year college or university where you can obtain a bachelor's degree, usually after 2 additional years of study. Begin a career immediately in any one of hundreds of fields not requiring a 4-year degree.

Associate Degree for Transfer (AD-T) for CSU

Chabot College offers 23 Associate in Art for Transfer (AA-T) and 8 Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) degrees. These are two-year associate degrees that are fully transferable to the California State University (CSU) system and are no more than 60 semester units.

With these Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADT) — sometimes called a Degree with a Guarantee — students who meet the CSU’s minimum eligibility requirements are guaranteed priority admission to a CSU campus, though not necessarily to a particular campus or major.

With an ADT you will be able to earn two degrees — your associate’s degree and your bachelor’s degree — with only 120 units if you transfer into a program at the CSU that’s similar to the one in which you earned your associate’s at a California Community College.
