if you take community college route?

Question

then transfer to UC would I do four years of UC or two more years to finish the school? Would i lose some information if i take community college then UC school?

Answer 1

From my own personal experience, and from seeing others that did the same thing, you will have most of your classes transfer, but at most you might lose one or two extra classes nonetheless depending on your situation.

The thing is that some of the final classes for your associates, particularly the final electives, can be so specialized that there's no way they'll work towards your bachelor. For example one of my final classes for my associates in business administration was a History elective class called "western civilization during the 18th century", or something like that. Now in a perfect world I would've picked the best elective that would've 100% transferred over to the university later on. But schedule wise those other classes didn't work, while this one did. And since it was so specific it of course didn't transfer over to the university later on when I graduated, so I had to take another elective at the university to replace it.

So again, if you have all the time in the world to schedule your classes then more than likely you'll get a 100% transfer rate. Otherwise there may be 1 or 2 classes that you'll end up losing.

Answer 2

You would do two more years at a UC after finishing at the community college for a bachelor's degree. If you get proper advising, you shouldn't lose anything when you transfer; the community colleges should help you figure out what to take that will transfer to the UC you end up going to. If you take random classes on your own, and they aren't considered usable by the UC (such as taking auto mechanics, or a class at the freshman level that the UC would only accept if taught at a junior or senior level), then those units might be lost.

Answer 3

No, you would just do 2 years.

Your completing as much general education requirements as you can at the comm college and then you would be taking more specific classes at the UC (like the classes for your major) You should talk with a counselor at the comm college and you can plan out what you need to take in order to transfer there as soon as possible.

Answer 4

nah, take classes in community college for the first two years or so, depends on how long you finish taking the classes to transfer. Remember, the first 2 years in a community college are the same as starting in a University, except community college is cheaper and easier. have fun! good luck!

Answer 5

Should be only 2 years of University if they accept all the credits you took @ community college. Go talk to guidance councelors at the University and ask what credits will be accepted.. take those credits, don't take 'basket weaving' just to get credits, they might not be accepted.

Answer 6

If you get a diploma at a college then go to a university it should take you two years to graduate with a degree then you will have a diploma and a degree...
