California has three public college systems: the California Community College system (CCC - open admission); the California State University system (CSU - top third of California high school graduates), and the University of California system (UC - top 12.5% of California high school graduates).
A “basic” difference between the CSU system and UC system is that the CSU colleges are viewed as “teaching” colleges while the UC colleges are viewed as “research” colleges. The CCC system offers two year programs mainly with classes comprising of general or “lower division” class work – i.e. the same class work as the first two years at a CSU or UC campus.
CCC students may transfer into either the CSU system or UC system as a transfer student - as long as they meet the college’s admission standard as a transfer. My understanding is that CCC students are given “priority” from amongst the transfer students.
