About Associate of Arts - Economics

The purpose of the Economics program is to provide as many students as
possible with an opportunity to:
  • Acquire a basic knowledge of economics;
  • Become aware of the role and place of economics in their personal and public life;
  • Get exposure to the critical thinking approach especially in the context of addressing economic issues; and
  • Achieve their academic and career objectives as well as their personal development goals.
The Associate in Arts in Economics for Transfer, also called the Economics AA-T Degree, is designed to prepare students for a seamless transfer with junior status to a CSU campus in a program or major in Economics for completion of a baccalaureate degree.

This Economics AA-T degree requires students to meet both of the following requirements:

    • The Intersegmental GE Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University GE-Breadth Requirements (CSU GE-B).

  • Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0.
