California’s Master Plan for Higher Education The Master Plan for Higher Education has guided California public higher education for the past four decades. The Plan includes the proviso that students can complete the first two years of a bachelor’s degree program at a community college and, if they meet certain requirements, be admitted to any UC or CSU campus. Today, more than ever, we are committed to helping students transfer to a 4-year university and realize their dreams to achieve a higher education.

Consider attending Delta College if you: - Have not decided on an academic or career goal Have not met requirements for freshman admission Are not ready to leave home Want the affordability of a community college Want additional academic preparation or time to explore an academic and career field.

Interested in transferring? Then you should know… Approx. 60% of students attending a CSU are transfer students. For the Fall 2007 term, UC admitted 90% of all CCC students that applied. CSU Stanislaus, CSU Sacramento, UC Davis, and Pacific receive the largest number of transfer students from Delta. Delta students are enrolled at every CSU and UC campus. CCC transfers have the highest priority for admission than any other group. Lower division prep at a CCC is comparable to lower division prep at a CSU/UC Students who attend a community college will save a significant amount of money on tuition and housing. Community college transfer students who attain the Bachelor’s degree are employed at the same rate as students who enrolled in a 4-year college as freshman. Earnings of community college transfers and native 4-year students with a Bachelor’s degree are comparable.

Preparing for Delta College and beyond Develop a student education plan (SEP) Meet with a counselor at least once a semester to discuss your goals and to make any changes to your plan. Take English and math courses as soon as you begin your college studies. Select a major and complete as many major preparation courses as possible.
