Does anyone have the latest data on transfer rates from Cerro Coso Community College? I'm specifically interested in knowing which universities most students successfully transfer to after completing their courses there.
Certainly, data on transfer rates from community colleges can provide useful insights into the pathways students tend to follow. According to the most recently available data (Spring 2020 - Spring 2022), Cerro Coso has a transfer rate of 12.03%. Typically such community colleges in California have strong transfer agreements with the Universities of California and California State Universities. This setup facilitates students' direct transition from their community college coursework to a four-year degree program.
Some popular destinations for California community college transfer students include UC Berkeley, UCLA, and San Diego State University because of their comprehensive transfer agreements. Also, in-state students often leverage savings by staying within the California state system. Detailed information on Cerro Coso's transfer rates and pathways can be found through the college's advising office and transfer center, or possibly their website.
Remember that successful transfer is also highly dependent on maintaining a good GPA, meeting all course requirements, and sometimes, the competitiveness of the specific program you're applying to. For example, programs like Computer Science or certain branches of Engineering might be more competitive and thus have stricter requirements for transfer students.
It can be a good strategy to make use of your college's advising resources early and often, to ensure you're on track for successful transfer to the program of your choice.
