As nearly everyone knows, SB 1440 mandated that the CSU and
the community college systems develop transfer degrees (AA-T or AS-T) to facilitate
transfer of students from the community colleges to the CSUs. Templates for
each degree were developed by discipline faculty from both systems and then
each community college was required to determine whether they have the courses
to fit in the template. Each CSU has to determine whether they have a similar
degree and how the student can complete the Bachelor’s degree in 60 semester
units after transfer with the AA or AS-T. New templates are released for degree
development in February and September.
The faculty at Cañada College has been diligently working to
develop and get approval for the degrees for which we have the programs and
courses. To date, we have submitted 20 degrees to the State Chancellor’s office
for approval and (as of) July 1 have received approval for 17 of these. Some of
these degrees were very straightforward and others required significant course
updating and revision and/or development of new courses. Of the templates
expected to be released in September, we should be able to develop 2-3 additional
transfer degrees for our students.
