Articulation at Barstow Community College
What is Articulation?
Articulation is basically a fancy word for “transfer-friendly classes.” It means the courses you take at Barstow Community College can count the same as similar courses at a university. This way, you’re meeting university requirements while still here at BCC.
Sometimes, a class might transfer over just as an elective. That means the units will move with you, but the class may not cover general ed or major requirements.
The good news? BCC has articulation agreements with lots of schools, including:
✅ University of California (UC)
✅ California State University (CSU)
✅ Private and out-of-state colleges & universities
These agreements are designed to make your transfer as smooth as possible so you can stay on track with your goals!
What's an MOUs?
An MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) is just a signed partnership between BCC and a four-year university. Think of it as a deal that gives you some extra perks when you transfer!
Some of the benefits might include:
✅ Application fee waivers (save $$ on apps!)
✅ Guaranteed admission to certain schools/programs
✅ Discounted tuition or special scholarships
✅ …and other transfer-friendly advantages

What are Transfer Guides?
Transfer Guides are like roadmaps for your transfer journey. They show you the courses a four-year university requires and the matching classes you can take right here at BCC.
They’re super helpful for staying on track - but remember, requirements can change! Always double-check with a counselor to make sure you’re meeting everything you need for admission and transfer.
