The Career Center offers a professional counseling service designed to extend career information and guidance to students who need help in selecting a career goal or a college major, or are considering alternate choices. This service allows students to determine educational and vocational objectives as well as discuss plans for a meaningful and realistic career selection.
The Transfer Center is an information resource center. The Center houses the online national catalog collection for all U.S. colleges and universities along with the publications necessary to identify major offerings across the country. The Center regularly schedules appointments with representatives from four year universities so that students may obtain current information and access to support services. The Center also coordinates the annual College and University Transfer Fair each fall semester. Applications and university entrance requirements for transfer students are available in the Center. Students are encouraged to visit the Transfer Center early in their academic careers so they may benefit by making informed decisions.
Transfer Preparation
L.A. Harbor College prepares you for transfer to the following University systems:
- CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY (CSU)
- UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA (UC)
- INDEPENDENT (PRIVATE) CALIFORNIA COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES
- OUT-OF-STATE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
Over 60% of Harbor College’s students indicate transfer as their educational goal. You may know which university
you’d like to attend after Harbor, and counselors can help you take the right classes to transfer to that university.
If you are not sure which university you would like to attend, counselors will both help you with that decision, and help you select classes that can transfer to a variety of universities. On the following pages, we will provide you with general information about the three most popular systems for university transfer in California. Please see a counselor for more information.
