Transfer Preparation MSJC offers a range of course work to prepare students to transfer to four-year colleges and universities. Courses that fulfill major requirements for an associate degree in this program might not be the same as those required for transfer into the major at a four year university. All fouryear institutions prescribe their own standards for course evaluation and admissions. Prospective transfer students are advised to research careers, degrees and majors in the Career/ Transfer Center, access www.assist.org, review the MSJC catalog and meet with a counselor to expedite their transfer plan.
