Campaign for Transfer Excellence (CTE)

The University of California's Campaign for Transfer Excellence (CTE) is a systemwide initiative that strengthens transfer pathways for California Community College students pursuing STEM degrees. Through this effort, UC Merced is offering key upper-level mathematics courses online during Summer 2025, enabling students to complete essential prerequisites for their AS degrees and UC transfer applications.

By providing these courses at a significantly reduced cost, the CTE program helps bridge gaps in course availability across the state and supports equitable access to high-quality UC instruction. This initiative reflects UC’s ongoing commitment to expanding educational opportunity and facilitating seamless transfer from two-year to four-year institutions.
