Transfer Curricula
A large majority of SBCC courses have been reviewed and approved for transfer by four-year colleges and universities through formal articulation agreements. These courses apply to one or more General Education, lower division major and/or elective requirements. These transferable courses have University of California (UC) and/or California State University (CSU) designations in this Catalog. These same designations also appear in the Schedule of Credit Classes, which is published each semester.
Most majors at four-year colleges and universities require completion of one or more lower division courses as preparation for the upper division. Nearly all of these lower division requirements can be met through transferable SBCC courses. Students can complete four-year institution lower division General Education requirements prior to transfer.
Articulation agreements, available at www.assist.org, identify which courses apply to General Education and lower division requirements at four-year universities. Students can complete many of the lower division requirements for majors offered by UC, CSU or independent institutions, even if SBCC does not offer the major. For more information on articulation visit http://articulation.sbcc.edu/.
Students can qualify for transfer to a multitude of four-year majors not specifically offered at SBCC. Students should check the catalog of the college of intended transfer and meet with a counselor for additional information about major programs and requirements.
Articulation with Four-Year Institutions
To assist the student with transfer to four-year institutions, articulation agreements have been established with most California State Universities, University of California campuses and some independent California colleges and out-of-state institutions. These agreements define the courses at Santa Barbara City College that satisfy many lower division major requirements and General Education requirements at four-year institutions. For more information on articulation visit http://articulation.sbcc.edu/.
ASSIST is a computerized student transfer articulation information system that can be accessed over the World Wide Web. It displays reports of how California community college courses can be applied when transferred to California State Universities and University of California campuses.
ASSIST is the official repository of articulation for California’s public colleges and universities, and therefore provides the most accurate and up-to-date information available about student transfer in California. ASSIST may be accessed at www.assist.org.
Course Identification Numbering System (C-ID)
The Course Identification Numbering System (C-ID) is a statewide numbering system independent from the course numbers assigned by local California community colleges. A C-ID number next to a course signals that participating California colleges and universities have determined that courses offered by other California community colleges are comparable in content and scope to courses offered on their own campuses, regardless of their unique titles or local course number. Thus, if a schedule of classes or catalog lists a course bearing a C-ID number, for example COMM 110, students at that college can be assured that it will be accepted in lieu of a course bearing the C-ID COMM 110 designation at another community college. In other words, the C-ID designation can be used to identify comparable courses at different community colleges. However, students should always go to www.assist.org and www.c-id.net to confirm how each college’s course will be accepted at a particular four-year college or university for transfer credit.
The C-ID numbering system is useful for students attending more than one community college and is applied to many of the transferable courses students need as preparation for transfer. Because these course requirements may change and because courses may be modified and qualified for or deleted from the C-ID database, students should always check with a counselor to determine how C-ID designated courses fit into their educational plans for transfer.
Students may consult the ASSIST database at www.assist.org and www.c-id.net for specific information on C-ID course designations. Academic counselors can help students interpret or explain this information.
UC Minimum Eligibility Requirements for Transfer Admission
California Residents
As a junior-level transfer applicant, you must meet the following requirements. Some of your major preparation and general education coursework will count toward these requirements.
- Complete the following 7-course pattern by the end of the spring term prior to fall enrollment at UC:
- Two transferable college courses (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units each) in English composition; and
- One transferable college course (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units) in mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning; and
- Four transferable college courses (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units each) chosen from at least two of the following subject areas: the arts and humanities, the social and behavioral sciences, and the physical and biological sciences.
- Complete at least 60 semester (90 quarter) units of UC-transferable credit. No more than 14 semester (21 quarter) units of the 60 semester (90 quarter) units may be taken pass/fail or credit/no credit.
- Earn at least a 2.4 GPA in UC-transferable courses (2.8 if you're a nonresident). Some majors require a higher GPA for admission selection.
- Complete the required/recommended courses need for your intended major with the minimum grades. Visit ASSIST (www.assist.org) to see the major preparation coursework expected by each campus or refer to UC's Transfer Pathways, a single set of courses you can take to prepare for your major on any of our nine undergraduate campuses.
Note: Fulfilling the UC minimum eligibility requirements does not guarantee admission to UC campuses. Admission selection criteria vary widely by campus and by major. Consult with your academic counselor or a UC campus representative to learn about the GPA and courses that may be required for admission to particular campuses and majors. Refer to the University of California website for UC transfer requirements: https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/transfer-requirements/.
Non-California Residents
The minimum admission requirements for non-residents are very similar to those for California residents. Please consult with the admissions office at one of the university campuses for details. In all cases, however, non-residents must have a minimum grade point average of 2.8 or higher in all UC-transferable college coursework.
UC-Transferable Courses
Santa Barbara City College’s UC-Transferable Course Agreement (TCA) is available online at www.assist.org. In addition, the transferability of each course is indicated immediately after the course title and unit information listed in the department/course descriptions section of this Catalog.
CSU Minimum Eligibility Requirements for Transfer Admission
A Santa Barbara City College student who is planning to transfer to one of the campuses of the CSU system can qualify for admission by meeting the following requirements:
Lower-Division Transfer Admission Requirements (1 to 59 semester units)
Many campuses restrict enrollment of lower-division transfer students. California residents may be eligible for CSU admission with fewer than 60 transferable semester units (90 quarter units) if they:
- have completed "a-g" course requirements in high school;
- have graduated from high school (received a high school diploma or General Educational Development, or GED, certificate);
- meet minimum CSU admission eligibility requirements of a first-time freshman;
- have achieved an overall college GPA of at least 2.00 (This GPA is calculated using all your transfer units attempted. In case of high-demand majors and campuses, a GPA of 2.00 may not be sufficient to be admitted);
- be in good standing at the last college or university you attended. (In simple terms, “good standing” means you are eligible to re-enroll at your last college or university.); and
- have completed, with a grade of C- or better, a course in GE Section A2 in written communication and a course in GE section B4 in mathematics or quantitative reasoning.
Visit https://www2.calstate.edu/apply/transfer/Pages/lower-division-transfer.aspx for detailed information. Some campuses do not admit lower-division transfer students. Contact your campus of choice to determine whether there are admission limits on the number of lower-division transfer students.
Note: Students who completed college units before they graduated from high school or during the summer between high school graduation and CSU enrollment are considered first-time freshmen and must meet those admission requirements. For more information regarding General Education and pre-major requirements, consult with an academic counselor and visit www.assist.org.
Students who do not meet the minimum CSU admission eligibility requirements from high school are highly recommended to continue their education at a community college and complete 60 or more transferable semester units (90 quarter units) before attempting to transfer to a CSU. Students should complete as many of the General Education and pre-major requirements as possible. Consult with an academic counselor.
Upper-Division Transfer Admission Requirements (60 to 70 semester units)
To be admitted to the California State University as an upper-division transfer (UDT) student, you must:
- have completed a minimum of 60 semester or 90 quarter units of transferable coursework;
- have an overall college GPA of at least 2.00; your GPA is calculated using all your transfer units attempted. In high-demand majors and campuses a GPA of 2.00 may not be sufficient to be admitted;
- be in good standing at the last college or university attended. In simple terms, “good standing” means you are eligible to re-enroll at your last college or university;
- have completed 10 general education courses (30 semester units or 45 quarter units) of basic skills courses, with a grade of C- or better, and, specifically, four courses completed in the following areas: written communication, oral communication, critical thinking and mathematics/quantitative reasoning.
Note: Fulfilling the CSU minimum eligibility requirements does not guarantee admission to CSU campuses. Admission selection criteria vary widely by campus and by major. Consult with your academic counselor or a CSU campus representative to learn about the GPA and courses that may be required for admission to particular campuses and majors. Refer to the CSU Apply website for CSU transfer eligibility requirements (https://www2.calstate.edu/apply/transfer/Pages/upper-division-transfer.aspx).
CSU-Transferable Courses
Santa Barbara City College’s CSU baccalaureate list of transferable courses is available online at www.assist.org. In addition, the transferability of each course is indicated immediately after the course title and unit information listed in the department/course descriptions section of this Catalog.
Santa Barbara City College Associate in Arts and Associate in Science for Transfer Degrees
Click on this link for SBCC Associate Degrees for Transfer and specific course requirements.
The Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (Senate Bill 1440, now codified in California Education Code Sections 66746-66749) guarantees admission to a California State University (CSU) campus for any community college student who completes an “Associate Degree for Transfer”, a newly established variation of the associate degrees traditionally offered at a California community college. The Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or the Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing these degrees (AA-T or AS-T) are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. In order to earn one of these degrees, students must complete a minimum of 60 required semester units of CSU-transferable coursework with a minimum GPA of 2.0. Students transferring to a CSU campus that does accept the AA-T or AS-T will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree (unless the major is a designated “high-unit” major). This degree may not be the best option for students intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus or to university or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a counselor when planning to complete the degree for more information on university admission and transfer requirements. For the latest information about transfer degrees, visit https://icangotocollege.com/?sitekey=adegree.
Students who have a verified AA-T or AS-T degree and meet the CSU's upper-division transfer admission eligibility requirements, but who have not been admitted to the CSU of their choice because that campus does not have enough space, they will be redirected to an alternate campus. To learn more, go to the Redirection page on Cal State Apply.
At the time of this Catalog publication, a student may earn the following AA-T/AS-T degrees at SBCC:
- Administration of Justice (AS-T)

SBCC AA-T and AS-T Graduation Requirements
The following is required for all AA-T or AS-T degrees:
- Minimum of 60 CSU-transferable semester units.
- Minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. While a minimum of 2.0 is required for admission, some majors may require a higher GPA. Consult with a counselor for more information.
- Completion of a minimum of 18 semester units in an “AA-T” or “AS-T” major as detailed in the appropriate departmental section of this Catalog. All courses in the major must be completed with a grade of “C” or better or Pass (Title 5 § 55063).
- Certified completion of the California State University General Education-Breadth pattern (CSU GE Breadth); OR the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC-CSU) pattern (see “Transfer Curricula” in the Catalog Index for more information about CSU GE Breadth and IGETC requirements).
Important Notes: The Business Administration 2.0 AS-T, the Computer Science AS-T, the Geology AS-T, the Music AA-T and the Physics AS-T require completion of IGETC-CSU. The CSU GE Breadth is not allowed for these degrees. The Biology AS-T and the Environmental Science AS-T require completion of IGETC-CSU for STEM. The CSU GE Breadth for STEM is not allowed for these degrees. The IGETC-CSU for STEM option permits students completing the AS-T in Biology or the AS-T in Environmental Science to follow the IGETC-CSU curriculum, but delay one Arts or Humanities course and one Social or Behavioral Science course until after transfer. - Candidates for an Associate Degree for Transfer are required to complete a minimum of 12 units through SBCC.
General Education Patterns for Transfer
Santa Barbara City College students have several options to complete a General Education pattern prior to transfer:
- Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC)
- California State University General Education Breadth Pattern (CSU GE Breadth)
- Campus-specific General Education Pattern
Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC)
The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) is a pattern of courses that California community college students can follow to satisfy lower-division general education requirements at any California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) campus. In addition, completion of IGETC qualifies students to receive a Certificate of Achievement from SBCC. Students who do not qualify for a full or partial certification of their IGETC before transfer will be required to complete the General Education pattern of the UC or CSU campus to which they transfer. Students should be aware that additional courses are often required to fully satisfy the General Education requirements of the particular UC or CSU campus to which they transfer. IGETC is not advisable for all transfer students. Students should meet with an academic counselor and visit http://www.sbcc.edu/transfercenter/whichge.php to determine the appropriate general education option for their transfer goal. In addition, there are some exceptions where completion of IGETC is not acceptable. For more information, visit: https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/transfer-requirements/preparing-to-transfer/general-education-igetc/igetc/campus-guidance.html. A student who is initially enrolled at a UC and is returning to the same UC campus (after attending a community college) is considered a "readmit" and cannot use IGETC. However, students who initially enroll at a UC, attend a community college and return to a different UC campus may be able to use IGETC, but should check with the campus they wish to attend. This restriction does not apply to students who have taken UC summer session or Extension classes only.
For the official IGETC Standards, Policies & Procedures, visit https://icas-ca.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/IGETC_Standards_2023_2v4.pdf. For detailed information about SBCC courses approved to meet IGETC requirements, visit www.assist.org.
Santa Barbara City College 2024-2025 IGETC Courses
IGETC requirements for Santa Barbara City College are also available on the ASSIST website, www.assist.org and on the articulation website. IGETC represents approximately 35-40 units of the 60 transferable units required for UC/CSU transfer admissions.
Important Note: Courses listed in more than one area of IGETC (Areas 1-7) can only be counted in one area.
IGETC is updated every fall semester. When registering for classes each semester, it is the student's responsibility to verify that the course(s) chosen to meet IGETC requirements are applicable to IGETC in the term that the course(s) will be completed. Consult with an academic counselor.

Certificate of Achievement in IGETC
The Certificate of Achievement in IGETC at Santa Barbara City College is designed for transfer-bound students who complete their lower-division General Education requirements through the IGETC pattern prior to transferring to a University of California or a California State University campus. Students must complete all of the IGETC requirements as outlined above for a total of 35-40 semester units. All courses must be completed with a “C” grade or better or “Pass” (equivalent to a grade of “C” or better).
Frequently Asked Questions About IGETC
1. What is IGETC? The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) is a pattern of courses that California community college students can follow to satisfy lower-division General Education requirements at any California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) campus. Completion of IGETC qualifies students to receive a Certificate of Achievement from SBCC. Students who do not qualify for a full or partial certification of their IGETC before transfer will be required to complete the General Education pattern of the UC or CSU campus to which they transfer. Students should be aware that additional courses are often required to fully satisfy the General Education requirements of the particular UC or CSU campus to which they transfer.
2. Is IGETC an admission requirement? No, IGETC is not advisable for all transfer students. Completion of IGETC is NOT an admission requirement for transfer to a CSU or UC, nor is it the only way to fulfill the lower-division General Education requirements of the CSU or UC prior to transfer. Note: UC Berkeley’s College of Letters and Science requires full completion of the IGETC or completion of the Essential Skills Requirement by the end of spring term for fall admission as selection criteria for admission. However, effective for the fall 2025 application cycle, Berkeley will no longer require IGETC/Cal-GETC, Essential Skills, or UC Reciprocity for eligibility for students applying to the College of Letters and Science and the College of Computing, Data Science and Society. Students will have to complete University of California 7-course pattern to satisfy eligibility requirements for admission.
In general, all UC and CSU campuses highly recommend completion of IGETC for most majors, and some rank students for admission based on how closely they complete their lower-division General Education before transferring. However, there are some exceptions where completion of IGETC is not acceptable. For more information, visit: https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/transfer-requirements/preparing-to-transfer/general-education-igetc/igetc/campus-guidance.html.
Completion of IGETC does NOT guarantee admission to a student’s major or campus of choice. Students should meet with an academic counselor to discuss UC and CSU admission requirements. Refer to https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/transfer-requirements/ for UC admission requirements, and to https://www.calstate.edu/apply/transfer/Pages/upper-division-transfer.aspx and to https://www.calstate.edu/apply/transfer/Pages/lower-division-transfer.aspx for CSU admission requirements
3. Is it advisable for all transfer students to follow IGETC? No. IGETC will be most useful to students who want to keep their options open before making a final decision about transferring to a particular UC or CSU campus. Some students may be better served by taking courses to fulfill CSU’s General Education/breadth requirements or those of a particular UC or CSU campus. In general, students who are pursuing majors that require extensive lower-division preparation for admission to the major (such as Engineering or other sciences) should not use IGETC (see “IGETC Campus Guidance” at https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/transfer-requirements/preparing-to-transfer/general-education-igetc/igetc/campus-guidance.html for additional information). Students pursuing these majors are normally advised to complete as much preparation for their major as possible before transfer. Students should meet with an academic counselor to discuss major preparation required for their campus and refer to www.assist.org for further information on major requirements. A student who is initially enrolled at a UC and is returning to the same UC campus (after attending a community college) is considered a “readmit” and cannot use IGETC. However, students who initially enroll at a UC, attend a community college and return to a different UC campus, may be able to use IGETC, but should check with the campus they wish to attend. This restriction does not apply to students who have taken UC summer session or Extension classes only.
4. Must the entire IGETC pattern be completed prior to transfer? No. However, to be eligible for full IGETC certification, students MUST complete all IGETC requirements before enrolling at a UC or CSU campus. Partial IGETC certification is defined as completing all but one (1) OR two (2) courses on the IGETC pattern. The student may be “partially certified” and complete the missing courses after transfer in a way that is acceptable to the receiving institution. Warning: Students need Areas 1 and 2 completed to meet minimum transfer admission requirements. Therefore, partial certification that acknowledges a deficiency in Area 1 and/or 2 may also indicate a student does not meet minimum transfer requirements. Note: Refer to question 2 above for UC Berkeley’s College of Letters and Science admission requirements.
5. May coursework completed at other institutions be used to certify a student’s completion of IGETC? Yes. However, only courses completed at U.S. regionally-accredited institutions can be used under the following conditions: (1) Coursework from other California community colleges (CCC) will be placed in the IGETC category listed by that campus. Courses must have been on that college’s IGETC list when the courses were completed. Check the ASSIST website at www.assist.org for IGETC-approved courses from California community colleges . (2) Students transferring from institutions outside of the California community college system may have courses certified for IGETC only if an equivalent course is taught at a CCC. Such courses would be placed in the same IGETC category as the equivalent CCC course. Please consult with an academic counselor. (3) Courses taken at foreign institutions are not permitted for certification on the IGETC unless the institution is regionally accredited in the U.S. All other international coursework cannot be applied to IGETC (Exception: Area 6A - Language Other than English).
6. Is there a minimum grade required in all courses used for IGETC certification? Yes. IGETC courses must be completed with a grade of “C” (2.0) or better (a “C-minus” cannot be used). A grade of Credit or Pass may be used if the college’s policy states it is equivalent to a grade of “C” (2.0) or better.
7. Can a course be used to satisfy more than one subject area? No. Even though a course may be listed in more than one area on IGETC, a course may only be counted in one area (the only exception is an advanced course that meets Area 6A Language Other Than English). However, courses used for IGETC can also count toward preparation for major requirements, except for individual CSU campus restrictions.
8. Can Advanced Placement (AP) scores be applied to IGETC? Yes. AP scores of 3, 4 or 5 can be used to satisfy certain IGETC subject areas except the Critical Thinking/English Composition, the Oral Communication and the Ethnic Studies requirements (Areas 1B & 1C & 7). Each AP score can only be used as one course; however, more than one AP score can be used in each area except Area 1. Refer to the IGETC AP chart for a list of approved AP scores and the corresponding IGETC area credit.
9. Can International Baccalaureate (IB) scores be applied to IGETC? Yes. IB scores of 5, 6 or 7 can be used to satisfy certain IGETC subject areas. Each IB score can only be used as one course. However, more than one IB score can be used in each area. Refer to the IGETC IB chart for a list of approved IB scores and the corresponding IGETC area credit.
10. Is certification of IGETC completion automatic? No. Certification of IGETC must be requested at the SBCC Transfer Center (SS-140) after the student completes the IGETC requirements. Certification applications may be obtained from the Transfer Center (SS140) or at http://articulation.sbcc.edu/uforms/figetc/igetcapplication.pdf and must be submitted to articulation@sbcc.edu. Certification will not be made when courses are still in progress or before grades are known. Certification of IGETC is the responsibility of the last California community college a student attends prior to transfer. Students must attach their unopened official transcripts from other colleges to their request for IGETC certification unless they have already submitted an official transcript to SBCC’s Admissions & Records Office.
11. Is there a minimum unit value per course? Yes. All courses must have a minimum unit value of 3 semester or 4 quarter units. When combining quarter and semester unit values within an IGETC area, units should be converted to either all quarter or all semester units, whichever best meets the minimum unit requirement for that area.
General Education Patterns for Transfer
Santa Barbara City College students have several options to complete a General Education pattern prior to transfer:
- Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC)
- California State University General Education Breadth Pattern (CSU GE Breadth)
- Campus-specific General Education Pattern
California State University General Education Breadth
SBCC strongly recommends completion of the SBCC-CSU lower division G. E. B. pattern (39 units minimum) prior to transfer. Completion of the CSU GE Breadth pattern qualifies students to receive a Certificate of Achievement from SBCC. Completion of the G.E. requirements is not required for admission to CSU. However, students who do not complete all the lower division G.E. requirements can only be “partially certified." As a result, these students will be subject to additional lower-division G.E. requirements after transfer. Some campuses are moving toward requiring full completion of lower division general education before transfer. Please refer to the respective CSU campus catalogue for campus-specific G.E.B. requirements. Even though a course may be listed in more than one area on CSU GE, a course may only be counted in one area for certification. A grade of C minus or better is required for certification in Areas A1, A2, A3 and B4. In order to graduate from the CSU, a minimum of 9 additional upper-division semester units (or 12 upper-division quarter units) from GE areas "B", "C", and "D" must be completed at the student's CSU campus of choice after transfer. Students have the option of completing IGETC instead of the CSU GE Breadth Pattern to fulfill the G.E requirements for CSU. For more information about IGETC, visit the the IGETC section of this catalog.
CSU GE Breadth Certification
Certification must be requested after the student completes the CSU GE Breadth requirements. Certification applications may be obtained from the Transfer Center (SS-140) or at http://articulation.sbcc.edu/uforms/fcsuge/csugeapplication.pdf and must be submitted to articulation@sbcc.edu. Certification will not be processed when courses are still in progress or before grades are known. Certification is the responsibility of the last California community college a student attends prior to transfer. Students must attach their official transcripts from other colleges to their request for certification unless they have already submitted an official copy to SBCC’s Admissions & Records Office.
Santa Barbara City College 2024-2025 CSU General Education Breadth Courses
CSU General Education Breadth requirements for Santa Barbara City College are also available on the articulation website and on the ASSIST website at www.assist.org.
Completion of the CSU General Education Breadth pattern represents approximately 39 units of the total transferable units required for CSU transfer admissions.

A student may use the same course to satisfy more than one area (US-1, US-2, US-3), if applicable.
