If students are found deficient by employers, they can return for additional training at no cost. Many students choose careers that require four or more years of college. Orange Coast College has a comprehensive transfer program that satisfies lower division requirements for most majors. Courses numbered 100 or higher are transferable to the California State University. A list of courses which transfer to the University of California is available in the Counseling Center and Transfer Center.
Counselors can help determine which courses transfer to other colleges and universities.
The Transfer Programs section of this catalog contains additional information about transfer. The counseling program at Orange Coast College is in place to help students identify and clarify personal, career and educational goals. The intent is to help students choose options that will improve the quality of their lives. Personal, career and academic choices are not viewed as separate and disconnected entities but as interrelated issues, the combination and interaction of which determine the present and future quality of each individual's life experience. Our Community Education Office sponsors cultural and performing arts events, continuing education, recreational programs, business seminars, contract education and tours.
