ACCELERATED COLLEGE TRANSFER - ACT
LACC
Acceletrated College Transfer program was developed
specifically for working aldults, who are ready to commit themselves
to succcess.
ACT offers you:
• Faculty & Staff Dedicated to Your Success
• Accelerated Courses
• 2 Nights per week + 1 Saturday per month
• Graduation in Just 2 Years
• Successful Transfer to a University
Five (5) Week courses
Almost all ACT courses are five weeks in duration. Courses are
taught on an accelerated basis, one class at a time. At the end of
a year, including summer, students earn a full year’s credit. This
allows our students to graduate in approximately two years. What a
great idea! Our students join the workforce or increase their value in
the workforce more quickly than the traditional courses allow.
Only Two Nights Per Week and One Saturday
Per Month
Realizing that our students have hectic lives, ACT offers you an
opportunity to graduate in two years by attending classes two nights
per week and one Saturday per month. You still have time for your
work and family responsibilities.
Graduation in Two Years.
For the first time in your educational life, it is possible for you
to attain your graduation goal in a very short period of time. The
traditional course offerings would probably allow you to graduate
with your associates degree in four or five years if you were a
part-time student. ACT gives you an opportunity to graduate in just
two years.
Transfer to a College or University Quickly and Effectively.
ACT classes are approved and are ready for transfer to CSU and
UC campuses, as well as other public and private colleges and
universities. Some universities not only accept all of our courses but
also continue the ACT idea within their own school.
What majors does ACT offer?
You may select from two program options. Both options lead to an
Associate in Arts Degree in Liberal Arts.
The Business Transfer Option is designed for certification of general
education requirements and fulfills major requirements in business for
transfer to CSU and UC campuses, as well as many other public and
private colleges and universities. You can see the list of classes on-line at
http://www.lacitycollege.edu/offsite/act/classlist.html#general..
The General Studies Transfer Option is designed to complete the
general education requirements of the Intersegmental General Education
Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) and the CSU Certified General Education
Plan. When you complete this option, you will be eligible to transfer to
most UC or CSU campuses, as well as most private and public colleges
and universities.
