How many units do I need to transfer from Moorpark College?

I'm trying to plan my class schedule at Moorpark College and need to know how many units are required to transfer to a four-year university. Any tips on classes would also be useful!

The general requirement to transfer to a four-year university from a California community college like Moorpark College is to have completed at least 60 semester units (or 90 quarter units). Often, you'll need to ensure that at least half of these units are completed in general education courses that fulfill the lower division requirements of the university you're applying to. This can include areas such as English composition, social sciences, humanities, mathematics, and physical and biological sciences.

Having said that, each university can have their own specific requirements for transfer students. Depending on the university, there may be additional course-specific prerequisites or GPA minimums you'll need to meet, particularly for competitive or impacted majors.

Finally, when planning your class schedule, it's advisable to meet with a counselor at Moorpark College or visit their Transfer Center and work with the staff there. They can help you to create an education plan that ensures you're taking the correct courses for your intended major and target university. You can also use resources like ASSIST.org, which provides details about transferring between California community colleges and universities, to gain a better understanding of what your prospective schools require.
