You need to talk to the advisors at your school… It is different in different states.

However it is mostly history, college algebra, gov., lit., etc…

Like I said the advisor at your 2 year will be able to tell you for sure…

You can look on the schools website for their “core classes”… or sometimes they are called “basics”.

That guy above about transfer rates being low is not right! I am moving to my 4 year next week! I’m going with a very high GPA… not everyone can afford to go to a 4 year college for 4 years… believe in yourself and you can do what ever the hell you want!

Well it depends on what you want to do for a career. If it is something like medicine or nursing you would need to look at what the medical school requires for prerequisites. At the very least you will need 2 English classes, College Algebra, a couple of History classes, and a couple of science classes. You should contact the 4 year college you want to transfer to and find out what the general education classes are. I hope this helps.

You know, between the time I was a senior in High School, until the time I got my first job out of college, to the time I found what I really wanted to do, my chosen career changed at least 4 or 5 times.

Even when interviewing for my first “real” job out of college, it was clear to me that I would be using very, very little of what I had actually learned inside a classroom.

That said, the pre-requisites for a given degree are going to vary wildly. I’d take a look at the degree programs of the school(s) you’re considering to transfer to and see what they recommend for their students during their freshman and sophmore years. You’ll probably want to take at least 1 semester of Calculus, a hard science like Chemistry or Physics, maybe Philosophy, some History, and 2 years of a foreign language. I don’t care what career you choose – a 2nd language always helps.

Look at the basic studies requirements at the 4-year school that you plan on going to. You can usually find that on the website. Then, you might want to call and make sure that the classes that you take at your two-year school actually will transfer to the four-year school. It would be nice if it was as easy as just taking them and getting them out of the way, but sometimes the transfer policies are a bit tricky, and you don’t want to end up having to take any classes twice. Good luck, and good for you for having a plan already!

Aside from the obvious English lesson, you need to be aware that the transfer rates from 2 year to 4 year colleges are low and the success of transfer students is low. Start and finish at a 4 year college where you will make friends and get the best advice on major and career. College is both an experience and an education. At a CC you will live at home and hang with your friends from HS. At a 4 year you will (should) live on campus and start a new semi-adult life.

Call your 4-year university and ask them what they recommend…

Some 4-years have arrangements with regional community colleges that have a proscribed set of courses they recommend and accept as transfer credit from, usually as part of an Associates.

For example, ASU in Arizona has a program with the local community college district that creates “Associate’s in Trancfer Partnership” degrees that is an Associates that transfers as the first 2 years of certain Bachelors degrees with essentially complete transfer of credits and courses.

Other schools may have something similar, ask yours.

take all your liberal education requirements… your math classes, your english classes, um science, historys, all them go happy go luck BS classes that you have to take to get you AA…. and if you went to a university you would have to take the same freaking classes there before you can get admitted into the school of (whatever your major is)

plus too you get two degrees when you transfer from a CC!!!
