North County Cuesta campus now offering six transfer degrees
This is the first set of transfer degrees available entirely on the North County Campus
Cuesta College North County Campus.
–Beginning in fall 2016, Cuesta College will offer six associate degrees for transfer, or ADTs, exclusively from its North County Campus located in Paso Robles. Although the college offers a total of 25 transfer degrees, this is the first set of ADTs available entirely on the North County Campus.
“In response to the needs of our North County residents, the college developed a two-year scheduled plan for six associate degrees for transfer, which represents a clear pathway for students to earn a degree at the North County Campus and transfer to a CSU in two years,” said Assistant Superintendent/Vice President of Academic Affairs Deborah Wulff.
Cuesta College students who earn an associate in arts degree for transfer or associate in science degree for transfer are guaranteed admission with junior standing into the Cal State University system. Although a transfer degree does not guarantee admission to Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, Cuesta College consistently transfers more students to Cal Poly than any other college, providing approximately one quarter of the university’s enrolled transfer students each year.
The degrees being offered exclusively on the North County Campus are:
Administration of justice (Evening program)
The criminal justice program studies the activities and operations of law enforcement agencies, the courts and correctional agencies, preparing students for careers serving the public and safeguarding constitutional rights.
