How does the transfer program at San Diego City College work?

I'm considering starting my college journey at San Diego City College and then transferring. Can anyone explain how their transfer program works, especially for popular majors?

San Diego City College offers a comprehensive transfer program for students who are aiming to continue their education at a four-year institution once they have completed their Associate Degree or General Education requirements.

They have several different transfer programs to choose from, depending on your goals and the school you want to transfer to.

To start, they offer what's called an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) in a variety of subjects. This program guarantees admission into a California State University (CSU) school, although not necessarily the campus of choice, for any student who completes an ADT.

As a City College student, you will also have access to the Transfer Center, which has resources and counselors to help you navigate the transfer process. They can help you figure out which classes you need to take for your intended major at a four-year college (you should focus on courses that meet General Education requirements and prerequisites for your prospective major classes at the four-year university), guide you through the application process, and provide information about transfer agreements.

Transfer Admission Guarantees (TAGs) are also worth exploring. TAGs provide assured admission to six University of California (UC) campuses for any student who meets TAG eligibility criteria. Each of the six UCs has different requirements for eligibility and fall within a variety of popular majors.

For more detailed information on the processes and aspects related to your field of interest, you should connect with the resources available at San Diego City College's Transfer Center. Be proactive in asking questions and communicating your long-term goals, and they'll help you set up a plan for successfully making the jump to a four-year institution.
