Transfer path

Potential Transfer Majors:

  • Art B.A.

Potential Career/Options After Completing a Bachelor's Degree:

A degree in Art prepares students for a career in art, illustration, art administration, and many other art fields, as well as providing many transferable skills like creativity, problem solving, flexibility, and patience.

Advising Notes:

  • Students can substitute ESLW 340 for ENGWR 300/480.

Other Notes to Students Preparing to Transfer:

  • Students will want to use work created in all of the art courses to build a portfolio, which is often a requirement for transfer into an art program.
  • See ASSIST.ORG for the transfer requirements of the institution to which you plan to transfer.
  • The UC system requires proficiency in a language other than English equivalent to two years of high school study. See a counselor about fulfilling this requirement.

Honors Courses (H):

Students with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or better who complete 15 or more units of Honors coursework earn an Honors Transfer Certificate and can take advantage of honors-to-honors transfer agreements with highly selective colleges and universities, both public and private.
