California’s Master Plan for Higher Education

• Since 1960, the California Master Plan for Higher Education has guided our public higher education system.

• The master plan states that students can complete the first two years of a bachelor’s degree program at a community college and if they meet certain requirements, they will be admitted to a UC or CSU campus.

• We are committed to helping you to transfer to a 4-year university and be able to realize your dream to achieve a college degree.
