THEATRE ARTS—ASSOCIATE IN ARTS IN THEATRE ARTS FOR TRANSFER (AA-T)
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Associate in Arts degree in Theatre Arts for Transfer provides a clearly articulated curricular track for students who wish to transfer to
baccalaureate Theatre Arts degree programs at a California State University (CSU) campus. This degree provides the lower division
theatre major courses required at many CSUs while exposing students to the core principles of the theatre arts field. For detailed
requirements for individual four-year institutions, students should contact the transfer institution and meet with a counselor for specific
transfer course requirements in their major. The Hartnell College Theatre Arts program is unique in that a professional theatre company is
in residence at Hartnell College: The Western Stage. The collaboration between Hartnell College and The Western Stage provides
students the opportunity to learn their craft within a professional context. Courses are designed to the community, for the general education
student and for those who may pursue theatre as a major or as a career. Career options include actor, teacher or professor, director,
agent, announcer, casting director, critic, or model. Careers with a technical emphasis include theatre technician, concert venue
technician, theme park technician, stage manager, designer, art director, facilities manager, or technical direct.
FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT: Dr. Marnie Glazier, mglazier@hartnell.edu, K114
PROGRAM OUTCOMES
Upon successful completion of the program, a student should be able to:
• Demonstrate proficiency in theatre terminology and performance skills, its basic theories, history and techniques, culminating in a live performance on stage.
• Conduct and apply analysis and research skills of dramatic texts and instructional materials.
• Work effectively as an ensemble member in a fully produced production formulating alternative solutions to theatrical production situations.
• Analyze, interpret, and evaluate their own and others’ work in the theatre as a patron and participant.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
California Community Colleges are now offering associate degrees for transfer to the CSU. These may include Associate in Arts (AA-T) or
Associate in Science (AS-T) degrees. These degrees are designed to provide a clear pathway to a CSU major and baccalaureate degree.
California Community College students who are awarded an AA-T or AS-T degree are guaranteed admission with junior standing
somewhere in the CSU system and given priority admission consideration to their local CSU campus or to a program that is deemed similar
to their community college major. This priority does not guarantee admission to specific majors or campuses.
Students who have been awarded an AA-T or AS-T are able to complete their remaining requirements for the 120-unit baccalaureate degree within 60 semester or 90 quarter units.
In order to earn this degree, students must complete:
60 CSU-transferable semester units.
Minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. While a minimum of 2.0 is required for admission, some majors may require a
higher GPA. Please consult with a counselor for more information.
Completion of a minimum of 18 semester units in an “AA-T” or “AS-T” major as detailed in the degree section of the catalog. All courses in the major must be completed
with a grade of “C” or better or a “P” if the course is taken on a “pass-no pass” basis (title 5 § 55063).
Certified completion of the California State University General Education-Breadth pattern (CSU GE Breadth) (see page 80 of the Hartnell College Catalog for more
information); OR the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) pattern (see page 98 of the Hartnell College Catalog for more information).
