I'm looking into getting an Associate for Transfer at LA Harbor College, but I'm not sure how the transfer process works after completing the degree. Could anyone share insights or experiences related to this program?
Certainly, the Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) program at Los Angeles Harbor College is designed to create a smooth transition for students to transfer to a CSU (California State University). LAHC offers these streamlined degrees in various fields of study.
As you progress through this program, you'll acquire an associate degree while satisfying lower-division general ed requirements and prepping for a specific major at a CSU. Not only that, but with your ADT, you'll have a guarantee of junior standing at any CSU and priority admission to your local CSU campus in a similar major.
After fulfilling your associate degree, the transfer process involves applying to the CSU system during the application period. But, as with any college application process, it's important to research your prospective universities' specific requirements beyond the ADT. Keep in mind each campus and major still have their own eligibility requirements, impacted program criteria and may request specific coursework.
Moreover, to obtain your ADT, you must maintain a GPA of at least 2.0 ('C' or higher) in all CSU-transferable coursework. Additionally, there are residency requirements for at least 12 units completed at LAHC.
Overall, the ADT program provides a clear pathway for transfer to the CSU system. You can seek guidance from LA Harbor College academic advisors to help plan your coursework and keep you on track for the ADT.
