A Degree with a Guarantee
http://adegreewithaguarantee.com/
The guarantee itself means that students who earn an AA-T or AS-T degree and meet the CSU minimum eligibility requirements are guaranteed admission to a CSU, but not necessarily to a particular campus or major.
With the AA-T or AS-T degree, students may be given a GPA bump when applying to an impacted campus outside your local area or an impacted major that is deemed similar.

In addition, once at the CSU, if a student is admitted and enrolled in a designated similar degree program they have the opportunity to complete their bachelor’s degree with as little as 60 semester units or 90 quarter units of coursework.
To pursue this special degree rather than a traditional AA or AS degree, students should meet with a counselor to develop an education plan that puts you on the path toward the AA-T or AS-T degree.
High School StudentsMost importantly, don’t neglect your class work:Take college-track courses all through high schoolRead and write often for school and for pleasureTake an English class in your junior or senior year
that concentrates on critical reading and writingTake four years of math while in high school,
including Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 with efforts to achieve at least a “B” grade
In your junior and senior year, take the Early Assessment Program test to find out if you are on track to be ready for college

Transfer Model Curriculum (TMC) Process
In response to SB 1440, the Academic Senates for California Community Colleges and California State University decided to develop a faculty-led, state-wide, concerted effort to identify the course content for new associate degrees for transfer… The C-ID infrastructure is being used to develop and vet the transfer model curriculum (TMC) in each of the most common transfer majors.
