The University of California system has unveiled a project to ease the transition forstudents who transfer from the state’s community colleges. The system’s Transfer Pathways sets forth a set of courses meant to prepare a transfer student for any of 10 majors at universities in the system.
"This initiative offers community-college students a transparent road map for transfer to UC, as well as for timely completion of their bachelor’s degree in their major of choice," said the chancellor of the California Community Colleges, Brice W. Harris, in a news release. "This adds to the work we have been doing with other four-year partners to streamline transfer and expand options for our talented students."
The system plans to incorporate 11 more majors into the project. At that point, according to the release, two-thirds of admissions applications from transfer students will be covered by the pathways.
