The associate in science in film, television, and electronic media (FTVE) for transfer will prepare students for transfer into bachelor’s degree programs in broadcast, film, TV, and similar majors. Career opportunities include TV and video producing, directing, camera operation, video editing, scriptwriting, audio recording and mixing, and radio programming.

The associate in science in film, television, and electronic media for transfer degree is primarily intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree at a California State University (CSU) in areas of study such radio-television-film, television-film, video, film, and electronic arts. Students completing this degree are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not necessarily to a particular major or campus.

In order to earn the degree, students must:

- Complete 60 CSU-transferable units.

- Complete the California State University-General Education pattern (CSU GE); or the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) pattern, including the Area 1C requirement for Oral Communication.

- Complete a minimum of 18 units in the major.

- Attain a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.0.

- Earn a grade of “C“ or higher in all courses required for the major.--

Students transferring to a CSU campus that accepts the degree will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree. This degree may not be the best option for students intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus or to university or college that is not part of the CSU system, or those students who do not intend to transfer.

Students must complete each course used to meet a major requirement with a “C” grade or higher. Some courses in the major satisfy both major and CSUGE/IGETC general education requirements; however, the units are only counted once toward the 60 unit requirement for an associate degree. Some variations in requirements may exist at certain four-year institutions; therefore, students who intend to transfer are advised to refer to the catalog of the prospective transfer institution and consult a counselor.
