Greetings Students,It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2018-19 academic year. Fullerton College is awelcoming, inclusive institution that offers our students exceptional opportunities to learn, growand achieve their goals. It is my hope that your experience here is a formative and fulfilling timefor you.Fullerton College is well respected for its robust academic programs and strong transfer rates.We were named No. 1 in transfers to the California State University system for the 2016-17academic year and we continue to grow the amount of students graduating with AssociateDegrees for Transfer. What sets us apart importantly extends to our career education programs.We remain the No. 1 college with the largest enrollment of students in career technical education programs in Orange County.The Course Catalog is your guide to understanding all that we offer, and it will help you beginto chart your course. The college offers more than 120 associate degrees and over 100 careercertificate programs. You can find details here on each of these programs and the steps you need to take to move through yourstudies efficiently and reach your academic and career goals.While the catalog provides the essential information about classes and enrollment, it does not replace the impact that one-on-oneguidance from a counselor can have on your success as a student. After the semester begins, I encourage you to make an appointment with a counselor in order to develop a personalized Student Education Program Plan (SEPP).This is an exciting time to be a student at Fullerton College.
