ASSIST is an online transfer information system that helps you find community college courses that may be used to satisfy subject matter requirements for specific majors at UC and CSU campuses. You can also use ASSIST to explore majors.

In addition to the lower division general education courses outlined on  IGETC, you are strongly advised to complete as many major preparatory courses as possible prior to transferring.
You may find these "prep for major" courses on

Although completion of all lower-division preparatory courses is not an admissions requirement for all UC or CSU campuses, the more selective UC and CSU campuses, like Berkeley, UCLA and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, do screen applicants for lower-division preparation.

Additionally, if you are applying to highly selective majors, such as nursing, business, biological sciences or engineering, certain lower-division preparation courses are required to be competitive for admission. In general, completion, or near completion of these courses will help you move more efficiently through graduation after transfer.
The minimum admission requirements from SBCC to a UC or CSU are English 110, English 111 (or Philosophy 111 or COMM 235) and one transferable Math (114 or higher). If you are considering transferring to a CSU, you also need one oral communication (COMM 121, 122, 131, 141, 161 or 235).

And, of course, you must complete a minimum of 60 transferable units.

On the average, general education courses make up 35-40 units and major courses make up 12-20 units of the 60 transferable units needed for UC or CSU transfer. Elective courses often make up the difference to meet the minimum of 60 units and balance out your semester schedule (see chart below).
IGETC and www.assist.org are two valuable resources in selecting courses to prepare you for transfer to a UC or CSU.
Transfer information to California independent or Out-of-State colleges and universities is unavailable on www.assist.org .
