Best Business Programs at California Community Colleges?

Hey everyone, so I've been considering doing my first two years of college at a community college before transferring. I plan to major in business. Any advice on which California community colleges have the best business programs?

Absolutely, your plan is a smart one, as attending a community college for the first two years can save you quite a bit of money, and still provide a strong foundation for a business major. California has a number of community colleges with solid business programs. Here are three well-regarded names that come to mind:

1. Santa Monica College (SMC): SMC has a high transfer rate to UC campuses and a strong business department. The instructors in the department have industry experience and there are a number of opportunities for internships and job placements.

2. De Anza College: Located in Cupertino, De Anza College provides a very comprehensive curriculum for their business program. It has a strong reputation for getting their students into top-notch UCs and CSUs for business.

3. Pasadena City College (PCC): PCC has robust offerings of business and economics courses and is known for its transfer agreement with several UCs including UCLA.

Choosing a community college depends on several factors including location, cost, and specific business areas you're interested in, like finance or marketing. Look into the course offerings at each school and visit the campuses, if possible, to get a feel for the environment. Transferring from a community college to a four-year university with a business program could be a smooth process if planned well! Good luck!
