Transfer Degree & Major Programs

An Affordable and Attractive Option

As university admission becomes more competitive and the costs related to that education increase, the community college has become a more attractive option for students seeking a bachelor's degree.

Each year more than 650 Butte College students transfer to universities to complete their bachelor's degree work. These students' record of success is as good or better than students who enroll in the university as entering freshmen. The transfer pathway has resulted in thousands of individual success stories, and the number keeps growing.

The College's transfer programs offer coursework which can meet lower division General Education requirements for all campuses of the California State University and University of California systems. An extensive program of articulated coursework guarantees course equivalency between Butte College and four-year institutions in most major programs. This allows Butte College transfer students to arrive on the university campus as fully-prepared students with upper division (junior) standing.

Transfer students should use the community college to complete their lower division General Education requirements, lower division major preparation courses and, when necessary, complete skill development work in Math, Reading, and English which prepares them for success in university-level courses. Butte College offers courses which fully address each of these needs. Articulation agreements with various UC and CSU systems can be obtained in the Counseling Office or Transfer Center.

Help With The Transfer Process

The transfer process can be confusing as it involves highly technical information. To attempt it without the assistance of a college counselor may lead to mistakes which are expensive in both time and money. To that end, the College offers students help through the Transfer Center, Counseling Office, Extended Opportunity Programs and Services, Disabled Students Programs and Services, Financial Aid, and the Career Center, as well as instructional faculty and college staff who are dedicated to helping students succeed. The ultimate responsibility for a successful community college transfer experience rests with the student. However, at Butte College, a support system is in place which allows students to reach their full academic potential as they achieve their educational goals.
