California Independent Colleges and Universities海角社区

There are many outstanding independent colleges and universities in California. Moorpark College students can prepare and become eligible to transfer to many of these fine institutions.

Many California private or independent universities will accept the completion of Cal-GETC as meeting their lower-division general education requirements; others will often give credit for courses taken at Moorpark College that are designed to be transferable to the University of California (UC TCA). Also, Moorpark College has developed formal articulation agreements with CalARTS (Music and Photography) and Pacific Oaks College.

Additionally, the California Community College Chancellor's Office (CCCCO) has entered into formal memoranda of understanding (MOUs) with some Independent California Colleges and Universities and out-of-state, fully online colleges, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities. These institutions have agreed to accept transfer students who have met the requirements for the Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT). You can view the list of colleges and universities that have these established MOUs at CA-independent-non-profit-universities.

Beginning Fall 2025, the first cohort of 27 California independent institutions will start utilizing ASSIST.org to post articulation agreements with selected California Community Colleges.  The 27 colleges and universities are listed below and are in bold. The articulation agreements for the individual institution will be published in ASSIST when they are available. 

Each college or university has its own unique requirements for admission. It is recommended that you meet with a counselor regularly to develop an educational transfer plan that will be most efficient and beneficial to your educational goal. Counseling appointments can be scheduled by calling (805) 378-1428.
