What transfer agreements exist for Foothill College students?

I'm trying to figure out if Foothill College has any transfer agreements with universities I'm interested in. Are these rolled into a catalog or particular guide, and how accessible and useful are these agreements for students?

Foothill College is well-known for its extensive transfer partnerships with several four-year institutions. These partnerships often assist students in making a smoother transition to a four-year program by providing a clear academic path and sometimes preferred or guaranteed admission.

Specifically, Foothill College is part of the California Community Colleges system, which has a Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program with six campuses of the University of California system. This means if you meet certain requirements at Foothill, you can be guaranteed admission to UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara, or UC Santa Cruz.

In addition, Foothill College also participates in the Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) program within the California State University (CSU) system. If you earn an ADT at Foothill College, you are guaranteed admission to a CSU campus and your credits will transfer.

To add to this, Foothill has also established agreements with private universities in and outside California. For instance, Foothill College and Palo Alto University have a partnership that guarantees qualified Foothill students admission to PAU's bachelor's programs in Psychology and Business Psychology.

To find information regarding specific pathways and agreements, Foothill College has a dedicated Transfer Center that can offer detailed advice and resources, including a guide to assist in planning your coursework. The transfer agreements and partnerships can be highly beneficial as they provide a clear academic pathway and often allow for preferred or even guaranteed admission to these universities given certain prerequisites and GPA requirements have been met. You should certainly take advantage of these opportunities and consult with the Transfer Center to maximize your options and ease the transfer process.
