Does anyone know how math classes from Butte College transfer to other universities, especially CSUs? I'm trying to plan my courses and want to ensure they'll count towards my major requirements.
While I can't give specifics about every math class offered at Butte College, the general rule is that community college classes often do transfer to 4-year universities, including CSUs.
For understanding how specific courses transfer, the best resource to use is the ASSIST system. It's a student-transfer information system that shows how course credits earned at one public California college or university can be applied when transferred to another. You can look up Butte College and see exactly which classes transfer to various CSU schools.
Let's say you are taking Math125 (I'm just using this as an example), you can search for it in ASSIST, select the CSU you're interested in, and it will tell you what course it is equivalent to at that CSU.
Just make sure that the courses you're taking at Butte College correspond to the prerequisites required for your intended major at the CSU you're transferring to. CSU campuses provide a "Transfer Pathway Guide" for each major that lists which prerequisites are needed.
Also, remember to discuss this with your academic advisor to avoid any unexpected surprises. Understanding the transferable classes early will make your transition to a CSU smoother!
