Abstract
Course catalogs and class schedules were examined from all 26 community colleges in California to determine the extent of non-liberal-arts course transferability by subject area to the California State University and to the University of California. When results were compared with a similar 1991 study, the data indicated that all of the subject areas, and particularly agriculture, experienced an increase in transferability to the California State University. In contrast, for the University of California, most of the subject areas remained stable with small increases or decreases in transferability. The author recommends periodic replication of this study to detect and confirm trends in course transferability.Keywords
