To transfer to a university for a Bachelor’s Degree, choose courses for your Associate’s Degree that simultaneously satisfy your
university’s lower division requirements. To transfer to the University of California (UC) or to the California State University (CSU),
you will most likely want to complete the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or, for CSU only, the General
Education Requirements for Transfer Certification (CSUGE), as part of your Associate’s Degree. Visit the Transfer Center and
www.assist.org for more information about preparing for transfer. Also, ask about the “Associate Degree for Transfer.”
