Californias 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 bachelors
  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.

10
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.

11
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 Bachelors 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 Bachelors degree
  are comparable.

12
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.
