The Associate in Science in Public Health Science for Transfer (AS-T) degree is designed as a pathway for students who plan to complete a bachelor's degree in Public Health Science or similar major at a California State University (CSU) campus. Students completing this degree are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. With the completion of this program, students will demonstrate knowledge of the basic research methods in public health, knowledge of the major theoretical and philosophical trends in public health, knowledge of the major primary sources in various public health areas, critical analysis and problem solving skills, and effective writing ability. An Associate in Science Transfer degree in Public Health Science may be earned by completing 60 semester units of CSU transferrable coursework, including the major requirements and CSU or IGETC GE-breadth requirements, with a minimum overall grade point average (GPA) of 2.0. Students must complete all courses required for the major with a minimum grade of C.<br><br>Our program will give you everything you need to be successful in those jobs, including hands-on experience and exposure to a wide breadth of disciplines that impact public health. If you're seeking a higher position, want to move into a different medical field, or even earn your doctorate so you can study the origin and distribution of disease as an epidemiologist, our program also puts you on the fast track toward advanced degrees. Our associate degree for transfer guarantees admission to California State University, along with other perks, like junior standing and a GPA boost in case you're applying to a competitive program. That puts you on your way to getting a bachelor's degree, with clear advantages, at a fraction of the cost.
