Transfer majors

SCC offers a number of specialized transfer major degree programs designed to get you from here to there quickly, efficiently, and affordably. They allow you to complete general education classes along with select coursework relevant to your major field of study so you can maximize your time at SCC and get a feel for what your major program will be like after you successfully transfer.
