Associate Degrees for Transfer
Allan Hancock College offers Associate Degrees for Transfer that are two-year associate degrees and fully transferrable to the CSU. CSU transfer students complete 60 semester units towards their bachelor's degree at AHC. It takes 120 units to complete a bachelor's degree.
With these Associate Degrees for Transfer - sometimes called a Degree with a Guarantee - Hancock students, who meet the CSU's minimum eligibility requirements, are guaranteed priority registration to a CSU campus, though not necessarily to a particular campus or major.
