Degrees, Certificates and Curricula
Transfer Programs Transfer courses are designed to parallel lower-division offerings at four-year colleges and universities. Through the transfer curriculum, MSJC students may complete freshman and sophomore requirements in two years and transfer to the university with junior or upper division status. A student may transfer a maximum of 70 units from a community college to campuses of either the University of California or the California State University systems. It is advised that students transfer with at least 60 transferable units to ensure that they are admitted to the four-year institution with junior or upper division status. Students who have not taken the SAT or ACT during their senior year in high school MUST have a minimum of 56 transferable units. Please see the Course Descriptions section of this catalog to determine which courses are transferable.
