There are many outstanding independent colleges and universities in California. Ventura County Community College District students can prepare and become eligible to transfer to many of these fine institutions.
Many California private or independent universities will accept the completion of Cal-GETC as meeting their lower-division general education requirements; others will often give credit for courses taken at Ventura College that are designed to be transferable to the University of California (UC TCA). Also, Ventura County Community College District has developed articulation agreements with some of these schools.
Additionally, the CSU Chancellor's Office has reviewed and approved courses from some private colleges for its CSU General Education-Breadth pattern. Ventura County Community College District students who previously completed any of the courses at the school (noted "CSU GE" under the Document column below; prior to Fall 2025) may apply the credits in the manner indicated in the linked charts. Please note that the "Date Approved" is the effective date. Courses taken prior to the date approved (or after Fall 2025) may not be accepted for CSU GE-B.
Keep in mind, each college or university has its own unique requirements for admission. It is recommended that you meet with a VC counselor regularly to develop an educational transfer plan that will be most sufficient and beneficial to your educational goal. Counseling appointments can be scheduled by calling (805) 289 6448.
