What's the transfer rate like at Compton College?

I'm considering Compton College and curious about how many students successfully transfer to four-year universities. What are the transfer rates like, and do they have a good track record of students moving on to prestigious schools?

Compton College has a solid transfer program, with around 9% of its students transferring to four-year institutions each year. While that might seem low, remember that not all community college students aim to transfer, as some may be seeking associate degrees, certificates, or simply taking classes for personal improvement.

It's also worth noting around 28% of Compton College's students who aim to transfer to a four-year university are able to do so, which speaks to the effectiveness of their transfer support.

In terms of transferring to more prestigious universities, it's possible but often depends on the academic performance and efforts of the student. Some students from Compton College have been successful in transferring into UCs and CSUs each year. The school has transfer agreements with many institutions throughout California, which can significantly streamline the transferring process.

Compton College also offers comprehensive counseling and advising services to help students plan their academic pathways according to their transfer goals. Most four-year institutions look favorably upon community college transfer students, especially those who maintained strong academic records and participated in extra-curricular activities.

Remember, while the overall transfer rate helps to give an idea of how transfer-oriented a school might be, each student’s situation is unique. Your ability to transfer and be accepted into a prestigious four-year university will depend largely on your academic performance, your completion of required coursework, and your personal motivation.
