I'm thinking of attending Santa Barbara City College and am curious about their transfer degrees. Which specific transfer degree programs do they offer that align with UC or CSU requirements?
Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) offers a broad range of Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADTs), designed to ensure seamless transfer into the California State University (CSU) system. Earning an ADT guarantees students priority admission to a CSU campus, though not necessarily to a specific campus or major.
Some of the transfer degrees SBCC offers include:
1. Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) programs, such as Business Administration, Economics, Geography, and Mathematics.
2. Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) programs, including Anthropology, English, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, and Studio Arts.
It's critical to work closely with an academic counselor while at SBCC to ensure you're meeting all of the requirements for these transfer degree programs.
Regarding the University of California (UC) system, there's no formalized equivalent to the ADT. However, SBCC students frequently transfer to UC campuses, and the school provides resources to help students meet UC transfer requirements and choose appropriate courses. For specifics regarding UC transfer degrees, it's highly recommended to consult with an academic advisor or use the ASSIST.org website which provides official articulation agreements between California community colleges and UC/CSU schools.
Remember, UC and CSU schools can have different transfer requirements, even for the same major. Prior planning is vital to ensure a smooth and successful transition to a four-year university.
