ADT Requirements

Transfer degrees require the following:

  2. Complete 60 CSU-transferable units. At least 12 of the 60 units must be earned at Sacramento City College.
  3. Complete one of the following general education (GE) patterns.  Meet with your SCC Counselor to discuss the appropriate GE pattern for your individual transfer/graduation goals:

Placement Information

Support courses required for English and Math per placement.  Check your e-Services account under “Academic Records”  to determine your placements.

Counselor Notes

  • All AA-Ts and AS-Ts are designed to transfer to CSUs in most majors. Students who wish to transfer to a UC are strongly encouraged to meet with a counselor to determine additional major requirements. 
  • Math – you may have other options for transfer level math; check with your counselor.
  • Students with Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate Credit (IB) test scores should notify their counselor to learn more about how test scores may be used for credit.

Department Faculty Note

Faculty strongly recommend that students transferring to CSU Sacramento take PSYC 330 instead of STAT 300 for their Statistics requirement. All Psychology majors who have a STAT 300 placement on E-Services are eligible to take PSYC 330 instead of STAT 300. Faculty also suggest that students transferring to CSU Sacramento take PSYC 370 as a major elective. Students transferring to other universities should consult with a counselor to determine which Statistics and major elective courses to take.
