List of schools Santa Monica College transfers go to?

I'm curious about which schools students from Santa Monica College typically transfer to. Is there some kind of list that shows where they tend to end up? I'd love to know more about their popular transfer destinations.

It's always a good strategy to understand the transfer pathways of a community college, especially if you're interested in following a similar path.

Though specific information may vary from year to year, many community colleges, like Santa Monica College, typically send a large portion of their students to state schools due to articulation agreements and transfer pathways programs. Therefore, you could expect a high number of SMC students transferring to institutions within the University of California (UC) system and the California State University (CSU) system.

Some of the UC campuses that commonly see transfers are UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, and UC Irvine. On the CSU side, campuses might include CSU Northridge, San Diego State University, San Francisco State University, and others.

Private universities and out-of-state institutions may also appear on the list of transfer destinations. Schools like University of Southern California, Loyola Marymount University, and Pepperdine University might be some of the private California institutions that SMC students transfer to.

All this said, the best course of action is to directly get a copy of the transfer report from Santa Monica College, if it's publicly available. The report will often include a comprehensive list of transfer destinations from the last few years. Also, consider getting in touch with SMC's Transfer Center; they can provide historical data, advice, and resources to aid your decision-making process.
