Law, Public Policy, and Society

ADT

The Law, Public Policy, and Society Associate in Arts Degree for Transfer (ADT) is designed to prepare students for a seamless transfer into the California State University (CSU) system to complete a baccalaureate degree in Law, Public Policy, and Society or similar majors such as Sociology, Anthropology, Criminal Justice, Communications, Political Science, Philosophy, Public Administration, Linguistics, American Studies, and Humanities.

This interdisciplinary degree focuses on the development of communication and critical thinking skills, introduces students to the legal field, and prepares students for further study in a variety of majors.

While an associate degree may support attempts to gain entry-level employment or promotion in fields such as business, government, social service, education and law, a baccalaureate or higher degree is recommended for those considering professional careers, which can be achieved through transfer. Students who complete this degree receive priority admission to the CSU system, though admission to a specific campus is not guaranteed.
