Overview
This bill updates California’s system for transferring from community colleges to California State University (CSU) bachelor’s degree programs. It primarily changes the general education requirements, requiring students to complete the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (CalGETC) instead of the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or CSU General Education-Breadth Requirements, starting in the 2025-26 academic year. Additionally, the bill renames the Foster Care Education Program to the Foster and Kinship Care Education Program and shifts its funding to support education for resource families. It also makes adjustments to articulation agreements between community colleges and CSU campuses to streamline the transfer process.
