To earn one of these degrees, students must complete at least 60 mandatory semester units of CSU transferable courses with a minimum GPA of 2.0. Students transferring to a CSU campus that accepts AA-T or AS-T must not complete more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor`s degree (unless the major is a major designated as a «high unit»).
