Additional Degrees

Taft College will grant degrees to students if they have met the requirements for each degree. Students seeking a concurrent or subsequent Associate degree must meet the following conditions:

1. All General Education requirements shall be met by each student's catalog rights.

2. A minimum GPA of 2.0 for all units counted toward the degree.

3. A minimum of 12 units in residence at Taft College.

There is no limit to the number of additional associate degrees awarded to students if they meet all of the above requirements. Students should note additional degrees do not necessarily enhance employment opportunities, and students should consider their transfer options to obtain a bachelor’s degree to enhance employment opportunities.

Students should be aware there is a lifetime limit to the amount of financial aid available to them and therefore should contact the Financial Aid & Scholarships department to obtain specific information regarding their eligibility options to fund their entire educational goals.

Students should always consult with their counselor when pursuing any degree or certificate.
