Transfer Pathway

CSUCI publishes a 2026–2027 two-year transfer roadmap for the Dance Studies, B.A. that assumes General Education and lower-division major requirements are complete. It maps the remaining Dance Studies coursework across four semesters for transfer entrants, including transfer-specific DANCE 301 coursework.
