Psychology transfer pathway from Cerritos College?

I'm a psychology major at Cerritos College and want to transfer to a four-year university soon. Does anyone have tips or know specific programs that make this pathway smoother?

Your first step should be looking into the Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program that several UC schools participate in. This program allows California community college students who meet certain requirements to have guaranteed admission to a participating UC school. UC Santa Barbara, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC Irvine, UC Santa Cruz, and UC Davis all offer TAG for transfer students, and all have psychology programs. Keep in mind that eligibility and requirements differ among schools, so you should review these closely for each institution.

Another valuable tool is the California Community Colleges' ASSIST website. It's kind of like a roadmap for California community college students who wish to transfer to a California public university. The website provides details about what courses you need to complete to be eligible for transfer admission.

Additionally, it could be beneficial to get involved with Cerritos College's 'Honors Transfer Program' if you meet the qualifications. This could open up more opportunities for transferring.

Finally, reach out to the Transfer Center at Cerritos College and your academic counselor for personalized guidance throughout the transition. They can give you a detailed and tailor-made plan that suits your needs best.

In summary, you have a lot of resources at your disposal to help navigate the transfer process, including the Transfer Admission Guarantee, ASSIST, the Honors Transfer Program, and the Cerritos College Transfer Center. Good luck with your journey!
