How does transferring from Bakersfield College to CSUB work?

Has anyone transferred from Bakersfield College to California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB)? I’m curious about how the transfer process works and any tips for making it successful.

Transferring from Bakersfield College to CSUB can be a smooth process given the right preparation and resources. The first step you need to take is to ensure you are meeting CSUB's transfer admission requirements. For CSUB, the minimum GPA requirement for out-of-state applicants is 2.0, and since Bakersfield College is in-state, the minimum requirement is 2.0 as well.

To boost your transfer success, I suggest you take advantage of "The Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT)" program. This program provides a guaranteed admission into California State Universities (including CSUB) for students who complete an associates degree in a program that aligns with your intended bachelor's degree at CSUB.

CSUB and Bakersfield College are also part of the Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program. This initiative creates a clearer pathway for students transferring from California Community Colleges. You would need to fulfill the specific required courses and grades set in the TAG agreement.

Besides, you should consider talking with an academic advisor at both Bakersfield College and CSUB to ensure you align your coursework with your intended major at CSUB. The academic advisors can provide you with a clear roadmap of the courses you need to take to be eligible for a successful transfer.

Finally, be well aware of key dates and deadlines. CSUB's application filing period for fall admissions begins in October and ends in November. Make sure you submit the necessary application forms and any required supplemental documents before the deadlines.

Lastly, don't be shy to utilize the resources available at both institutions that aid in the transfer process. Networks like the Transfer Center at Bakersfield College can be most helpful. Best of luck with your transfer process!
