To transfer:

Courses required for the associate degree major at IVC may not be the same as those required for the major at a four-year school. If you plan to transfer, consult a counselor to identify the courses needed for the major at your transfer school and to develop a plan that will best meet your goals. View more information about transfering at Transfer to a Four-Year Institution .

Guided Pathway

About This Roadmap:

Below is a suggested major roadmap from discipline experts. This roadmap, based on IVC’s 2018-2019 course catalog, will give you an idea of the suggested order of classes you need to take to complete this degree at IVC; however, please make sure to meet with an IVC counselor to personalize your My Academic Plan (MAP) and verify courses according to the catalog year appropriate to your enrollment. In addition, students who plan on transferring to a university should speak with a counselor to review courses needed, as major course requirements for transfer may be different from the suggested list.

About Guided Pathways:

Guided Pathways is a state- and nation-wide initiative to help students enter an area of study pathway, help them stay on their path, and provide them with the information and support they need to complete their academic goals in a timeframe tailored for them.
