ASSIST.org is the official repository of articulation for California s public colleges and universities and provides the most accurate and up-to-date information about major requirements and general education. Along with meeting minimum admission requirements, one of the most important aspects of a successful transfer is the completion of significant coursework in the major prior to transfer, for two very specific reasons. One, completion of major coursework makes you more attractive for admission, especially for the more competitive universities. Two, completion of major coursework at SMC prior to transfer will allow you to transfer and graduate from the university in a timelier manner. Assist.org has listed the exact courses that you should complete at SMC to satisfy lower-division major requirements prior to transfer to public California universities, but not all majors at all universities are included at this site.
