Theatre Arts Associate in Arts for Transfer
The Associate in Arts in Theatre Arts for Transfer (AA-T) meets the lower division course requirements necessary for the California State University (CSU) system. Theatre students gain self-confidence and work in a collaborative environment through class projects and performances.

The core values of our Theatre Arts program are personal integrity, social justice, and examining how art imitates life.
