I'm attending Fullerton College and I'm considering transferring to a university later on. I'm curious if they offer programs that could get me an associate degree that's specifically designed to transfer?
Absolutely, Fullerton College does offer various programs that culminate in an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT). These degrees are part of a statewide agreement between the California Community Colleges and the California State University (CSU) system, optimizing the path for students who intend to transfer to a CSU. They require a minimum of 60 semester units, provide a solid general education grounding, and incorporate coursework within a specific major.
It's worth noting that an ADN doesn't guarantee admission to a specific CSU, but it does guarantee admission to a CSU, giving students priority admission to their local CSU, and to a degree program considered similar to their community college major.
Some of the ADT programs offered at Fullerton College include Political Science, Sociology, Mathematics, Studio Arts, and Psychology, among others. To figure out the most suitable program for you, it's beneficial to meet with a guidance counselor and discuss your specific academic and career goals, as well as the requirements for your desired ADT program.
