G E T S TA RT E D
The majority of Skyline College 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 requirement. These
transferable courses have University of California (UC)
and/or California State University (CSU) designations in
this schedule. Most majors at four-year colleges and uni-
versities 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 Skyline College courses. Students can com-
plete four-year institution General Education requirements
prior to transfer.
Articulation agreements, available at ,
identify which courses apply to General Education and
lower division requirements at four-year universities. Stu-
dents can complete many of the lower division require-
ments for majors offered by UC, CSU or independent
institutions, even if Skyline College does not offer the major.
Students can qualify for transfer to many four-year
majors not specifically offered at Skyline College.
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 institu-
tions, 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 Skyline College that satisfy many lower divi-
sion major requirements and General Education require-
ments at four year institutions. For more information on
articulation agreements with the CSU and UC campuses,

Skyline College has with private colleges and out-of-state
colleges, visit

SCIENCE FOR TRANSFER DEGREES
Skyline College offers associate degrees (AA-T and
AS-T) designed to support transfer to the California State
University system. Students who complete the require-
ments for an Associate Degree for Transfer are eligible to
apply for an associate degree AND meet minimum admis-
sions requirements for transfer with junior standing to a
California State University. Although earning an Associate
Degree for Transfer does not guarantee a student admis-
sions to all California State University campuses or majors,
it does secure priority admissions consideration to his/her
local CSU campus. To enhance a student’s competitive-
ness and success as a CSU applicant, in addition to
completing the requirements for the associate degree for
transfer, it is strongly recommended that students meet
with their Skyline College counselor and utilize www.
to see if there are additional courses suggested
or required for a particular major at a specific campus.
At the time of publication, Skyline College offers
AA-T/AS-T degrees in eighteen majors: Administration of
Justice, Anthropology, Art History, Business Administra-
tion, Communication, Early Childhood Education, Ele-
