Is Skyline College notable for its transfer rate?

I'm thinking about starting at Skyline College with the intention of transferring later. Are their transfer rates considered strong compared to other community colleges?

11 months ago

Skyline College, located in San Bruno, CA, is part of the San Mateo County Community College District, which does have a reputation for having solid transfer rates. The college's transfer rates will vary depending on the year and destination but generally, a significant number of students do successfully transfer to four-year institutions, including campuses in the University of California and California State University systems. It's worth noting that Skyline College also has some transfer agreements with certain universities that can help ensure a smoother move.

Remember that a successful transfer process also depends heavily on things like maintaining a strong GPA, successfully completing transferable course units, and, when appropriate, meeting certain prerequisites for your intended major at your transfer school. For optimal transfer results, it's important to build strong relationships with your advisors who can guide that process, help ensure you stay on track, and advocate for you as needed.

Finally, keep in mind that while transfer rates can be a useful data point, a college's fit should also be judged on other factors such as class size, support resources, financial aid, and campus culture.
