I'm interested in transferring from Sierra College in the future. Can anyone share what transfer degrees are available there? I'm trying to figure out my options and would appreciate any insights into their programs.
Sierra College offers several Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADTs). These are special degrees in the California community college system, designed to create clear pathways for students who plan to transfer to a California State University (CSU). They provide priority admission consideration to a CSU and guarantee admission with junior status.
Some examples of ADTs offered include but are not limited to:
1. Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T):
- Anthropology
- Art History
- Communication Studies
- English
- History
- Psychology
- Sociology
- Studio Arts
2. Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T):
- Administration of Justice
- Biology
- Business Administration
- Computer Science
- Early Childhood Education
- Geology
- Mathematics
Each subject has a specific curriculum which prepares a student not only for transfer but also for upper-division course work in their major. Even if a student does not complete the degree, the coursework completed towards the degree will be valuables when applying to 4-year colleges.
Remember to consult a counselor at Sierra College and at the prospective CSU to ensure that all prerequisites and transfer requirements are met. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your academic goals and personal interests.
