Folsom Lake College offers associate degrees for transfer (AD-T) to the California State University (CSU) system. View list of AD-Ts currently offered. These may include Associate of Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or Associate of Science for Transfer (AS-T) degrees. These degrees are designed to provide a clear pathway to a CSU major and baccalaureate degree. Folsom Lake College students who are awarded an AA-T or AS-T degree are guaranteed admission with junior standing somewhere in the CSU system and given priority admission consideration to their local CSU campus or to a program that is deemed similar to their community college major. This priority does not guarantee admission to specific majors or campuses.
Students who have been awarded an AA-T or AS-T are able to complete their remaining requirements for the 120-unit baccalaureate degree within 60 semester or 90 quarter units at a CSU campus.
Current and prospective community college students are encouraged to meet with a counselor to review their options for transfer and explore additional degrees which may be under development at this time.
