Choosing the right SF City College courses for UC transfer

I'm trying to plan my courses at SF City College so I can transfer to a UC. Does anyone know which courses I should prioritize to make sure they transfer successfully?

Sure, planning the right courses is a crucial step to ensure a smooth transfer process. The University of California system has something called Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC), which is a series of courses prospective transfer students can take to satisfy lower-division general education requirements at UC schools.

To select the right courses at SF City College that would fulfill the IGETC requirements, refer to the college’s IGETC advising form which matches SF City College courses to the IGETC areas. This form will help guide you in choosing the right general education courses that will most likely be transferable. I would suggest prioritizing these courses first, as they are a significant part of the transfer requirements.

However, keep in mind that this is just for general education. If you're aiming for a specific major at the UC, you'll also want to track the prerequisite courses for that major to make sure you're prepared. You can find these prerequisites on ASSIST.org, which maps out course equivalencies and requirements between all California community colleges and UC campuses.

One important note - each UC campus and sometimes each department may have slightly different guidelines for transfer, so when you've narrowed down your list of preferred UCs, make sure to verify the courses with the specific campuses you're interested in. Always coordinate with an academic advisor at both SF City College and any prospective UC to confirm your course selection and transfer plan. They will provide the most accurate and updated information. Good luck with your planning!
