Program
AA-T Studio Art
The Associate in Arts in Studio Art for Transfer is designed to provide lower division education to students planning to transfer
to a CSU with a similar major in Art Studio in pursuit of a baccalaureate degree. The intent of the degree is to assist students in
seamless transfer to a CSU in compliance with SB 1440 legislation. The required courses have been identified by the art
department as matching the “core” courses set by the “c-id” project in the Transfer Model Curriculum for Studio Art. The
Associate in Arts in Art Studio for Transfer is a 60-unit program which provides lower division education to students planning to
transfer to a CSU with a similar major in Art Studio practice. Students completing the program will be able to examine and
evaluate artwork in terms of strengths and goals, and create an art project that uses the elements of design (point, line, plane,
value, and other design principles of organization). Students must complete 60 units including the 24 units in the major, 34-39
units of Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or California State University General Education-Breadth
Requirements, and additional CSU transferable units to total 60 units. Brad/Leslie/ passed
Program
AA-T Art History
The Associate in Arts in Art History for Transfer is a 60-unit program which provides lower division education to students
planning to transfer to a CSU with a similar major in Art History. Students completing the program will be able to attribute
artworks to artist, culture, country and/or style, give rationale for attribution, respond to artworks on both intellectual and
emotional levels, and analyze iconography. Students must complete 60 units including the 18 units in the major, 34-39 units of
Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or California State University General Education-Breadth
Requirements, and additional CSU transferable units to total 60 units. Brad/Leslie/ passed
There was a discussion about using the c-id identifiers to match courses in the template, how courses are chosen
for use in the template, double-counting GE curses, and the importance of encouraging and supporting
departments in developing additional TMC. Kinesiology, English, and AJ are in the progress.

Kuni gave an update on the progress toward expanding ESL offering to non-credit to meet the
