Transfer Options

 

MiraCosta College students who wish to complete a bachelor’s degree have the opportunity to transfer to a variety of public and private/independent colleges and universities both in California and out-of-state. 

Preparing for Transfer

MiraCosta’s curriculum is designed to prepare students to transfer to four-year colleges or universities by providing instruction in lower-division general education coursework and preparatory courses for specific majors. Courses that can be used to satisfy general education and major preparation requirements at specific UC and CSU campuses can be found on the ASSIST website. As the official repository of articulation for California’s colleges and universities, ASSIST provides the most accurate and up-to-date information available about student transfer in California.

As soon as possible after applying to MiraCosta College, students should choose the specific major area they wish to pursue and the four-year public or private college or university they wish to attend. MiraCosta College's academic counselors are available to help students make these important decisions and become aware of the entrance and graduation requirements that are specific to their desired transfer institution. 

Developing an Education Plan

MiraCosta College’s academic counselors are available to help students in developing an individualized educational plan. By outlining the coursework and program requirements needed to achieve a student’s educational goal or program of study, an educational plan helps students stay on track and avoid taking unnecessary courses that may add time and cost. 

An education plan serves as a roadmap towards a student's educational goal and helps ensure students complete transferable courses that satisfy general education and major requirements. Once completed, students can access their educational plan through their SURF account. 

Please see the Transfer Center webpage for specific recommendations about how to pursue transfer as your educational goal.
