Transfer path

Potential Transfer Majors:

  • Spanish B.A.

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

  • A degree in Spanish is an asset when working in many fields, including translation/interpretation, language analysis, linguistics, diplomacy, civil service, foreign service, immigration/ naturalization, and intelligence.

Advising Notes:

  • This roadmap is designed for Spanish heritage speakers and advanced Spanish speakers.
  • Students not meeting the SPAN 411 prerequisite through coursework must take a prerequisite challenge exam prior to enrolling in SPAN 411.
  • Students can substitute ESLW 340 for ENGL C1000/C1000H (formerly known as ENGWR 300/480).
  • Transferable Elective Courses: any elective courses numbered 300-499, or having a 4-digit number starting with C.

Other Notes:

  • ZTC: With the proper selection of courses, this program can be completed without paying for any textbooks. Look for the ZTC symbol in the class schedule. Learn more on the ZTC page of the college website.

Other Notes to Students Preparing to Transfer:

  • See ASSIST.ORG for the transfer requirements of the institution to which you plan to transfer.
  • The CSU system requires every student receiving a bachelor\'s degree to be knowledgeable about the Constitution of the United States, American history, and state and local government. This requirement is generally known as the American Institutions requirement. Students can complete this requirement at ARC before transferring. The list of approved courses can be found on the ARC website.

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.
