Community colleges double number of transfer-to-CSU degrees
By Josh Dulaney, Long Beach Press Telegram
Community college students are earning specialized transfer degrees at a blistering pace.
The number of associate degrees for transfer nearly doubled in 2014-15 from the previous year, with 20,644 students earning the honor, according to figures released earlier this month by the Chancellor’s Office of California Community Colleges.
The ADT program is a partnership between the state’s 113 community colleges and the 23-campus California State University system.
Then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed legislation in 2010 to allow students to obtain the one-size-fits-all transfer degree for all CSU campuses.
