Preparation to Enter Four-Year Colleges
or Universities
Fresno City College provides
the first two years of a four-year college or university program.
The majority of Fresno City College regular day students are
enrolled in such transfer programs and will complete all of most
of their general education and lower division major requirements
before transferring.
Students can transfer to a
baccalaureate institution once they have completed 60 or more (for CSU or UC) or more transferable units with the required GPA.
The requirements for transfer
and requirements for a terminal program are very different. Therefore,
the importance of reaching a decision regarding the individual's
objectives at the time of enrollment cannot be overemphasized.
Also, there are differences in the requirements of colleges and
universities. This fact makes it advisable for entering students
to plan a program which meets the requirements of a particular
college or universities to which they wish to transfer. Students
should consult the catalog of the particular college or university
which they later plan to attend. Counselors will assist in interpreting
catalog statements and requirements and with developing a Student
Education Plan (SEP) upon request. Catalogs of many universities
and colleges are available in the counseling/career center and
the Fresno City College library. It is, however wise for students
to order their own personal copies directly from the college
or university of their choice.
Careful selection of courses
at Fresno City College will prepare a student for transfer with
junior standing to a baccalaureate institution and at the same
time enable the student to complete the requirements for the
associate degree. Those Fresno City College courses which are
accepted at other schools are not always exact equivalents of
their courses but normally are accepted as meeting the same requirements.
In accordance with Executive
Order No. 167 from the Chancellor's Office of the California
State Universities, Fresno City College has developed a list
of courses which are of baccalaureate level. These courses are
listed on page 36 of this catalog. The courses so designated
by Fresno City College shall be accepted by any campus of the
State University for credit toward its baccalaureate degrees.
Students can complete the general education requirements for
all of the California State Universities by following the appropriate
pattern which follows. Completion of the general education requirements
will be certified on the Fresno City College final transcript.
Fresno City College courses
that transfer to the University of California campuses are listed
on page 38 of the Fresno City College catalog. Students who plan
to transfer to one of the UC campuses should consult the latest
catalog of the university of their choice to determine lower
division requirements.
University of California breadth
requirements for each separate campus and some major program
sheets are available in the Transfer Center of the Counseling
Center for student use.
