Moorpark College ADT Transfer Experiences?

Thinking of starting at Moorpark College with the Associate Degree for Transfer program to eventually transfer to a university. What have been the experiences of others who've taken this path? Any advice for making the most of the ADT while at Moorpark?

The Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) program at Moorpark College can be a fantastic route to a four-year university because it smooths the transfer process for many top California public universities, such as the UC and CSU system. You'd be guaranteed admission, with junior standing, into a CSU related major once you've completed your ADT, which is an advantage on its own.

From what I've heard, one of the remarkable things about the ADT program is that it provides a clear roadmap of the courses you need to take, all within your associate degree framework. The good news is that the curriculum is compact, meaning you only have to take the courses that sincerely matter for your designated transfer destination.

Regarding maximizing your ADT experience, first and foremost, ensuring a strong GPA is crucial. Your GPA significantly contributes to your acceptance into certain competitive universities or programs, even with an ADT.

Second, converse with your advisors regularly. They are highly knowledgeable and can guide you through which courses to take, when to take them, and address any other concerns. Frequent check-ins can also help you to stay on track with your academic plan.

Finally, I recommend getting involved with extracurricular activities or volunteer work. It not only broadens your college experience but also looks great on your transfer applications. Although your GPA and academic accomplishments will be at the forefront, evidence of involvement, leadership, and community service can set you apart from other candidates.

Every student's experience is unique, but you might also encounter a few challenges - the course availability might not be as flexible as you hope, and you'll have to carefully track your course selections to stay on your chosen ADT track.
