Among the state's 106 community colleges, GCC ranks 11th in transferring students to UC and CSU campuses. Most students who attend GCC their first two years do as well as, or better than, students who began as freshmen at a four-year college or university. If you qualify for the Scholars Program, you'll experience priority registration at GCC, small classes and seminar-style study groups, use of the UCLA library, and priority consideration for admission with junior standing at top public and private universities across the state. GCC offers great opportunities to excel during the first two years of college. At most four-year schools, students must wait until their junior or senior year to become a school newspaper editor, star in a stage production or on the athletic field, or serve as a student legislator.
