The Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (Senate Bill 1440, codified in California Education Code sections 66746-66749) guarantees admission to a California State University (CSU) campus for any community college student who completes an "associate degree for transfer," a newly established variation of the associate degrees traditionally offered at a California community college. The Associate in Arts in Spanish for Transfer is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor's degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing this degree are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. In order to earn one of these degrees, students must complete 60 required semester units of CSU-transferable coursework with a minimum GPA of 2.0. Students should consult with a counselor when planning to complete the degree for more information on university admission and transfer requirements.

Completion of the requirements for the Associate in Arts in Spanish for Transfer prepares students for transfer to a California State University to engage in upper-division work towards a baccalaureate degree in Spanish. Students who complete this degree will be able to demonstrate practical fluency through basic object identification, response to questions, and dialog prompts; and second-year ACTFL-level conversations in paired and group discussions; demonstrate higher level grammar constructs through debate and advanced composition, including the indicative as well as the rhetorical moods; and relate the similarities and identify the differences between their own and Hispanic cultures.
