between a community college, a participating four-year university
and the student guaranteeing that upon completion of the conditions
of the agreement, the student will be admitted to the university for
the agreed term of enrollment. Interested students should see a
counselor to determine eligibility and begin the Transfer Admission
Agreement process.

Transfer to the California State University
(CSU)
The California State University’s (CSU) 23 campuses offer
more than 1,800 Bachelor's and Master's degree programs in
more than 375 subject areas. The CSU provides the majority of
the skilled professional workers who are critical to the state’s
knowledge-based industries such as agriculture, engineering,
business, technology, media, and computer science. In addition,
the CSU is the state’s leading provider of graduates in services
that are critical to the state, providing more than 80 percent of the
college degrees in criminal justice, education, social work, and
public administration. Over 425,000 students are enrolled at the
CSU each year with more than 66% of CSU Bachelor's degrees
awarded to community college transfers.
The CSU is the largest, the most diverse, and one of the most
affordable university systems in the country. The University system
engages in research and creative activities leading to scientific,
technical, artistic, and social advances. CSU plays a vital role
in the growth and development of California's communities and
economy.
With proper program planning, students can complete lower
division preparation at Ventura College and transfer to the campus
of their choice without loss of units. Information on the major
transfer fields for which students may prepare at VC is available
in the Counseling Office or Transfer Center.
Transfer to the University of California (UC)
The campuses of the University of California (UC) provide
exciting environments that foster world-class educational and
research opportunities and generate a wide range of benefits
and services that touch the lives of Californians throughout the
state. The UC has established campuses throughout the state of
California and enrolls more than 220,000 students. All campuses
have uniform entrance requirements and certain other features
in common. However, each campus is distinctive and not all
majors are offered on all campuses. Students should study the
list of undergraduate colleges, schools, and majors available on
each campus to determine which campuses will best satisfy their
educational needs. Students are encouraged to discuss with their
counselors the particular advantages each campus has to offer.
More and more students are discovering the transfer path to
UC. Close to a third of all UC bachelor's degrees are awarded
to students who started out at community colleges. UC gives
California community college students first priority over other
transfer applicants.
