DESCRIPTION
The Associate in Arts in Spanish for Transfer degree (AA-T in Spanish) will
help individuals achieve their academic and career goals by providing a
comprehensive foundation in the Spanish language in preparation for
transfer to baccalaureate programs in the California State University
system in Spanish or similar language programs. The Cuesta College AA-T

prepare students for transfer into upper division course work in a bach-
elor’s degree program, or, to prepare students to enter the workforce in
a particular vocational eld. To qualify for an Associate’s Degree, a student
must: (1) complete each intraspecic course required for the degree with
at least a “C” grade or better, (2) complete all Cuesta College general
