Thinking Ahead: Transferring from PCC to CSU or UC

Hi Class,

For those of you that are thinking about what classes to take at PCC because you want to transfer to Cal State University or the University of California, here's a great link:

I realize that this might be far in the future, it is important to start getting as much information as possible so that you will have a successful academic career.

If you think about it, transferring from PCC to a CSU or UC campus is only about 2.5 years away! (I will miss you!)
