Transfer Majors List
The Articulation System Stimulating Inter-Institutional Student Transfer (ASSIST) is the official repository of articulation for California's public colleges and universities. Assist is a web-based transfer information system that contains data about how courses are taken at a California community college can be used when transferring to a UC or a CSU campus. ASSIST includes information on UC and CSU Transferable Courses, IGETC and CSU GE-Breadth coursework, and coursework required or recommended to be sufficiently prepared in a particular major.
ASSIST helps you find community college courses that are transferable to a UC or CSU campus and how those transferable courses might be used to satisfy subject matter requirements for specific majors or general education requirements.
Students can view these lists of transferable coursework by selecting a community college. To view articulation agreements, start at the Explore Transfer Information section. Select the community college, then the four-year institution you will then be able to view additional information. Information may be available for majors, or by departments. ASSIST also provides information about majors offered at UC and CSU campuses. If you know the major that interests you, or a general area of study that interests you, click on Majors to get started. On the next page, follow the directions in the left sidebar to narrow your choices and to find detailed information about your major.
If you know which campus you want to attend, and would like to see all of the majors offered at that campus. Click on Campuses, and then select the campus you plan to attend. You'll then be able to choose from a list of all the majors offered at that campus.
There are several possibilities. First, there may not be any formal articulation between the two institutions. Each university campus is responsible for the articulation with community colleges and other universities. Not every university campus provides articulation with every college or for all their majors or departments. Many universities concentrate on their local community colleges and their most popular majors.
You may also be looking for a private college or university. ASSIST provides information regarding the University of California, California State University, and California Community College campuses only.
There is no information about transferring from or to private universities or colleges in ASSIST. Campuses such as USC, Concordia, Chapman, and Vanguard are private institutions. As well, there is no information for out-of-state institutions. Please see your counselor regarding transfer requirements to these campuses.
There is an important difference between a transferable course and an articulated course but the terms are sometimes used as if they are interchangeable:
Transferable Courses
Articulated Courses
Articulation is available for most majors at the UC/CSU Campuses. To check which courses you need for your particular major, go to the ASSIST website, and explore transfer information:
