How do I know what classes will transfer to a 4 Year University or College?

Most core courses are guaranteed to transfer to any college or university within the state, however, you must check with the each school specifically to obtain transfer equivalencies. The best way to do this is to go to their websites, as well as speak directly with an advisor. Even though a class will transfer, does not necessarily mean it will work towards the degree plan you are seeking. This is why it is good to be in communication with an advisor both here at El Centro as well as the schools you are looking to transfer to. For more information about transferring and articulation agreements go to DCCCD Transfer Services.
