What transfer programs does Butte College offer?

I'm looking into transfer programs at Butte College and wondering what options they have, especially if I'm aiming for a 4-year university. Can anyone share details or personal experiences with Butte College's transfer pathways?

Butte College offers a variety of transfer pathways called "Transfer Degrees for Transfer" (AA-T or AS-T), designed to provide a streamlined transfer to the California State University (CSU) system. These degrees are unique in the manner that they protect your admission to the CSU system by meeting the prerequisite courses for your major.

One specialty of Butte College is their "Associate Degree for Transfer" programs. These are special types of Associate degrees that include specific courses required for different Bachelor degree majors. The degrees are designed to provide a clear pathway to a CSU major and baccalaureate degree. Butte College currently offers over 20 of these special Associate degrees across multiple disciplines including Business Administration, Psychology, and Mathematics, among others.

In addition to these in-state transfer options, they also use the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC), which helps California community college students transfer to most CSU or UC campuses.

Keep in mind, though, that each four-year institution will have its unique set of requirements, and meeting with a transfer counselor at Butte is always a good idea to make sure you're meeting all the necessary criteria. They can help guide you through which courses to take each semester in order to best prepare for a smooth transfer.

Butte College also has partnerships with some out-of-state and private universities, so you could have even more options depending on your long-term goals. It's recommended to consult with a counselor to discuss these multiple pathways. I've heard from several students that the college's Transfer Services office is of tremendous help for navigating these options.
