How to know the prerequisites of each college?

<p>I haven't started college yet but for financial reasons I will be going to a affordable school and then transfer to a more expensive school for the last two years.
I want to take the courses that will transfer to the colleges I'm interested in for the last two years, but more importantly, I want to take courses that are pre-requisites for them.
First of all, I don't know anything about college. Do you start taking major-specific courses from year 1? If so, do these courses usually transfer?
Please help me plan ahead!
I appreciate the support</p>

Do they have articulation agreements? See <a href=“What is an articulation agreement?”>What is an articulation agreement?;
