2+2 Degree Program

The 2+2 degree program is a model used to attain a bachelor’s degree by attending the first two years at a community college for an Associate of Arts or Science (AA/AS) degree and then transferring to a four-year university for a bachelor's degree. Students earn two degrees – AA/AS degree + BA/BS degree – at a fraction of the cost.

After having completed Santa Ana College’s AA/AS degree program and meeting the transfer requirements, students can make an easier transition to complete a bachelor’s degree at the University of California’s ten universities including UC Irvine, UC Los Angeles, UC Berkeley; or, at the California State University’s twenty-three universities including CSU Fullerton, CSU Long Beach; as well as Stanford University and many other top colleges and universities across the United States.
