I'm a junior considering starting at Citrus College, then transferring to a four-year university. I'm wondering which majors transfer well from Citrus College to other schools. Any success stories or advice on this? Thanks!
It's a great move to be considering your transfer options from community college to a four-year university early on. Citrus College has several high-performing transfer programs validated by the success of their students upon transfer to four-year institutions.
Many students have found success in various majors, but a few standout programs include Business Administration, Psychology, Biology, and Engineering. These majors are not only popular at Citrus College, but they also offer comprehensive coursework that aligns well with the curricula at four-year institutions, facilitating smoother transitions for transfer students. Remember that the best major for you will depend on your individual interests, strengths, and career goals.
Additionally, Citrus College is a part of the California Community College system, which has special transfer agreements with UC and CSU schools. The Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADT) program offers guaranteed admission into a CSU for certain majors if you meet the eligibility requirements.
While you didn't mention any specific four-year universities you're interested in, if you're aiming for a UC or CSU school, you might want to consider choosing a major that has an ADT agreement.
Lastly, I recommend meeting with an academic advisor at Citrus College who can guide you in making informed decisions about your major and transfer path, tailored to your specific goals.
Remember to also continually evaluate your academic performance and personal affinity towards the subject matter of your chosen major, as these will be critical to your academic success and enjoyment. And keep working hard - many students have successfully navigated the pathway from community college to a four-year institution. Good luck!
