It is important that students who are completing an Associate Degree and desire to transfer to a four-year institution meet with a counselor to plan their lower division coursework. While many majors at SRJC are intended to align with lower division major preparation required by California public universities, specific lower-division major requirements vary among individual campuses. See a counselor, visit the Transfer Center, and check Guides For Transfer in Specific Majors, and ASSIST to review transfer preparation guides for specific schools and majors.

Notes:
It is strongly recommended that students complete COUN 91 and COUN 99I in the final semester of taking the core requirements. In this program, COUN 99I consists of internships in alcohol or drug settings.
CAADE Certification requires that students complete two interships in different modalities. Students will therefore complete a second COUN 99I internship as part of the Alcohol and Drug emphasis requirements.
