Is there an university( or college) in California that accepts transfer students with 30 credit hours?
I really want to get out of my current place and move to California.
I’ve looked up everywhere but all universities accept only transfer students with 60 credit hours. I want to find a university in California and stay only for one semester and then transfer to one of the UC schools. I am not looking for community college as a bridge because many advise me not to do it.
Appreciate every help
You would need to look at California private schools if you want to gain admission as a lower division transfer.
USC/Occidental/Loyola Marymount/Claremont Colleges (Pitzer, CMC, Pomona, Scripps, Harvey Mudd) to name a few.
Staying one semester at a college in California will probably not give you enough units or enough of the required courses completed to transfer to a UC.
If you are OOS, some of your current credits may not transfer. Do you plan to establish residency in California for the purpose of getting in-state tuition? If so, be aware that you cannot attend any college in California for a year while establishing residency… If you really want to go to a UC, finish your units and required courses at a CC, use TAG and transfer as a upper division 60 unit + transfer. You still will not get in-state tuition costs however, so you need to be in-state for a year without attending school.
