Are there transfer agreements in place at Berkeley City College?

I'm looking to transfer from Berkeley City College to a four-year university. Do they have specific transfer agreements with any universities that might make the process smoother?

Yes, Berkeley City College (BCC) does have a number of transfer agreements with four-year universities through a system known as articulation agreements. These agreements lay out which coursework at BCC can be transferred for credit at the four-year institution, making the transfer process much smoother for students.

Specifically, BCC is part of the California Community College system, which means they have articulation agreements with the vast majority of the University of California (UC) system and California State University (CSU) system campuses, such as UC Berkeley, UC Davis, San Francisco State University, and San Jose State University, to name a few.

What's more, BCC also participates in a program known as the Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) to the CSU system. This program guarantees admission to a CSU campus for any community college student who completes an associate degree for transfer in a similar major.

Note that each UC and CSU school may have specific major prerequisites and GPA requirements for transfer. To get the most accurate and up-to-date information, you may want to speak directly with BCC's transfer counselor or visit the website of the four-year institution you're interested in for their specific transfer admission requirements.

In addition, BCC has transfer agreements with some private and out-of-state colleges. The specifics of these agreements vary by institution, so it's recommended that you speak with a transfer advisor at BCC to get the most precise and current information. They can provide guidance on how to navigate these agreements and ensure your credits transfer as efficiently as possible.
