Moorpark College AA Transfer Requirements?

I'm planning to attend Moorpark College and want to transfer to a UC or Cal State eventually. What are the AA requirements there to ensure a smooth transfer process? Should I speak with a counselor?

For smooth transfer from Moorpark College to a UC or Cal State, you'll want to focus on completing courses that fulfill the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or CSU General Education Pathway, along with courses relevant to your intended major. By completing these courses and receiving an AA for Transfer (AA-T) degree, you'll have satisfied many lower-division requirements at both UC and Cal State, making for a smoother transfer.

Moorpark College also has articulation agreements with many UC and CSU campuses that outline which of Moorpark's courses correspond to those required at the four-year college.

The AA-T process involves several steps, including a completion review and applying for the degree. A college counselor could provide insight into your specific situation and help ensure you're on track.

Remember, each UC and Cal State might have slightly different requirements for similar majors, so it's essential to look at the campuses and programs you're considering.

Overall, creating a strategy to meet these requirements, continually checking in on your progress and adjusting if necessary, and taking advantage of the support resources Moorpark provides, such as counselors, will serve you well in ensuring a smooth transfer process.
