Info on CSU transfers from Miramar College?

I'm planning on starting at Miramar College and then transferring to a California State University. Can anyone provide insight on how well Miramar College supports students in making this transition?

As I understand it, the transfer process from a California community college like Miramar to a California State University (CSU) is fairly streamlined, thanks largely to the Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) program. This is a special degree offered by California community colleges, and if you complete an ADT, you are guaranteed admission to a CSU in a similar major.

Miramar College likely offers many resources to support you in this path. The school probably has a Transfer Center staffed with counselors who specialize in helping students like you transition to four-year colleges. You should make an appointment to chat with them about your academic plan, the ADT, and any other questions you might have.

Besides one-on-one counseling, your school likely also offers workshops on applying to CSUs and other transfer-related topics. These can really help make the application process easier to understand.

It's also a good idea to figure out which CSU campuses and programs you’re interested in, so you can find out if they have any additional admissions requirements beyond the ADT program's. The Assist.org website is a valuable tool for this, as it shows you the transfer requirements for every program at every public university in California.

However, please keep in mind that while the ADT guarantees admission to a CSU, it does not guarantee admission to a particular campus or program.

In this overall transition process, it's key to be proactive in seeking out resources and staying on top of deadlines and requirements. Remember, while there are plenty of support systems in place, ultimately, you are the one responsible for your educational journey.
