Associate Degree for Transfer
A Degree with a Guarantee
The Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT), also known as the Degree with a Guarantee, is a guaranteed transfer pathway from the California Community Colleges system to California State Universities and the Independent California Colleges & Universities (ICCU) sector, of which HNU is a member. If you are a community college student graduating with an Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or an Associates in Science for Transfer (AS-T) in one of the ADT majors accepted at HNU, your admission to HNU is guaranteed -- and you will begin with junior standing so you can finish your bachelor's degree. At HNU, you can get the classes you need to finish on time and get employed sooner.
