Associate in Science in Early Childhood Education for Transfer (AS-T)

Peralta Community College District

The Associate in Science in Early Childhood Education (ECE) for Transfer (AS-T) degree is intended to meet the lower-division requirements for ECE majors, or majors that have been deemed similar, in the California State University (CSU) system. The AS-T degree prepares students to function in a variety of early childhood programs and services and is for students who seek to transfer to a CSU institution or to prepare for a career in early childhood education by meeting the requirements to work in public or private child care facilities. Successful completion of the degree affords students specific guarantees for transfer to the CSU system, such as admission to a CSU with junior status, priority admission to their local CSU campus and to a program or major in ECE or similar major. Students transferring to a CSU campus will be required to complete no more than 60 semester or 90 quarter units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree.
