Transfer & Career
Information Center
BCC’s Transfer & Career Infor-
mation Center is a resource for questions you
have about choosing your career, choosing
a major, or selecting a transfer institution.
California college catalogs and
other college resource materials are avail-
able to assist you with research and informa-
tion on school and major selection. You can
meet with four-year college representatives
who visit each month. Check our website
for the most current calendar of events.
Plan your Associate Degree, Certificate,
or General Education Program—
If you wish to complete an associ-
ate degree or a certificate, it is recommended
that you see an academic counselor during
your first semester to plan your program.
Plan to transfer into Baccalaureate degree
programs at four-year universities—
If you wish to transfer to a four-
year college or university, meet with an
academic counselor to discuss eligibility and
admission requirements. Counselors will
help you develop a Student Education Plan
(SEP) which will outline the courses you
must take to fulfill your transfer educational
objective.
Transfer Curriculum for UCs and CSUs—
The University of California and
California State University campuses have
cooperated to develop IGETC (Intersegmen-
tal General Education Transfer Curriculum).
IGETC is a pattern of courses that you can
use to satisfy lower division general educa-
tion requirements at any UC or CSU cam-
pus. You must complete the entire pattern of
courses in order to be certified.
Note:
IGETC is not recommended for all
majors. Please check with your counselor
to plan your program. At minimum, 60
transfer units are required for admission as
a transfer student.

Transfer curriculum for CSUs only—
If you are seeking a bachelor’s
degree at a California State University you
must complete a 60-semester unit breadth re-
quirement, distributed among five academic
areas. Certification is provided when you
complete the prescribed pattern of courses.
Alist of the CSUGeneral Education breadth
requirements are available from a counselor
or in the Transfer Center. GE requirements
are not recommended for all majors. Please
check with your counselor to plan your
program.
Transfer Information Online—
You can access articulation agree-
ments, general education and major prepara-
tion requirements, and other transfer informa-
tion at the ASSIST website:

Concurrent Enrollment
with Four Year Colleges and Universities—
BCC offers a concurrent enrollment program
with the University of California -Berkeley,
Mills College, and California State Univer-
sity, East Bay. This program provides access
to these three institutions for students who
might not otherwise consider them. The
program allows you to take courses you need
(if offered) that are not available at BCC and
enables you to test your potential for success
in a university/four-year college setting. You
pay the same fees for concurrent enrollment
courses as you do for your BCC courses. You
are not eligible for this program if you have
previously attended a four-year institution or
hold a bachelor’s degree or equivalent from
a university.
