“Not listed as impacted” means the official list we checked doesn’t name it, so confirm with the campus. Published GPA figures may be a minimum, a range or a past cutoff, as labeled. Similar-program lists come from each campus’s own ADT page, and a dash means the campus didn’t publish one we could read.

The ADT for film and television

The matching transfer degree is the Film, Television and Electronic Media AS-T. Finishing it guarantees admission to some CSU campus with junior standing, though not to a particular campus or major.

At some campuses a similar ADT also adds to your GPA in competitive review: Cal Poly Pomona, Cal State LA, CSULB, SDSU, SF State describe a 0.1 boost on their own pages, each with its own conditions.

How the ADT guarantee works across the CSU

Building a balanced list

Campus-wide impacted campuses rank every applicant: Cal Poly SLO, Cal State Fullerton, CSULB, SDSU, SJSU. Apply to at least one campus where film and television isn’t impacted.
Impacted programs often favor local-area applicants. Check the local area on each campus page.
Major prep courses count as much as GPA in impacted programs. Finish them by the end of spring before you transfer.
