California Community Colleges, State Universities Reach Deal On Transfer Students

The University of California system and the state’s community colleges have reached an agreement that’s expected to lead to more community college students transferring to UC campuses.

Under the deal, a student who completes a yet-to-be-determined set of courses with a specific GPA will be guaranteed admission into a UC school, although it may not be the student’s first choice.

Jacob Jackson, a research fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California, joined The Show to talk about it. 

Mark Brodie is a co-host of The Show, KJZZ’s locally produced news magazine. Since starting at KJZZ in 2002, Brodie has been a host, reporter and producer, including several years covering the Arizona Legislature, based at the Capitol.
