About the College

City College of San Francisco (CCSF) offers courses in more than 50 academic programs and over 100 occupational disciplines. There is a full range of credit courses leading to the Associate of Arts and Science degrees, most of which meet the general education requirements of four-year colleges and universities. Occupational courses and programs prepare students for immediate employment. Free noncredit courses such as English as a Second Language and Citizenship, as well as classes designed for Older Adults, are also available. Competitively priced, short-term community service courses are available to meet the training needs of business, industry and government, as well as personal enrichment of community members.

Transfer Articulation Agreements (TAA)

The TAA assures students a place for a specified semester at University of California system, San Francisco State, and a host of other four-year colleges and universities. To be eligible to participate in the program, students must, with the assistance of their Counselors, complete TAA applications and the specified course requirements with an agreed-upon grade point average. This is not essential to transfer, but the TAA process is established for those students who wish to have a confirmed pattern of subject requirements for admissions to their major for a designated semester. CCSF transfers more students to the California State University system than any other community college in the state.
