In 2007, MSTI hosted the very first Community College Conference and MSTI faculty started working on customized CC transfer curricula, in conjunction with the CC faculty. Then came semester conversion in 2016, and our courses went through requisite modification. This year we reworked the CC-Calstste LA pathways, and those can be found below.
Note for students: A Program Plan lists all the course requirements of a degree program, whereas a Roadmap lists one possible path to complete those course requirements.
