About degrees and certificates


Certificates:

A certificate readily prepares you to enter a particular field or career. It can also give you new skills for advancement in the workplace.

Associate Degrees: 

An associate degree requires a broader education for career options in a range of industries. It's a great step toward earning a bachelor degree at a four-year school or entering the workforce sooner. 

Associate Degrees for Transfer: 

A transfer degree is equivalent to the first two years of a bachelor's degree program. Earning one can gruarantee admission to California State Universities, some private and online universities, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). ADTs, along with a transfer agreement guarantee (TAG) with the University of California system can help you achieve your goals for less. Learn about transfer services.
