The Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) program in California, implemented in 2011, offers a streamlined pathway for community college students to transfer to a California State University (CSU) campus with junior standing. It guarantees admission into the CSU system, priority consideration for impacted majors/campuses, and the use of same GE and Major Prep courses for transfer. With over 31,000 students participating annually, the ADT program has become a popular choice for those pursuing a bachelor's degree. Additionally, the ADT Commitment agreement with AICCU ensures guaranteed admission, credit transfer, and junior standing for students from Independent California Colleges and Universities.
