10. UC Pathways
The UC Pathways offer the common courses needed for certain majors across the UC’s. This is a great option for students who know they want to transfer to a UC, but are undecided as to which UC to transfer. IF they know what school they want to transfer to, using Assist.org to find major preparation courses will better prepare them for acceptance vs. a UC Pathway.
