What is TAG?
TAG is a structured program designed to help students successfully transfer from California Community Colleges to HBCUs with guaranteed admission. By meeting specific criteria, students can secure their place at an HBCU without the uncertainty of the traditional transfer process.
Why Choose an HBCU?
HBCUs have a rich history of academic excellence, producing 28% of Black bachelor’s degree holders, despite only 17% of Black undergraduates attending these institutions. Many HBCUs are also leaders in STEM fields, offering unparalleled opportunities for students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Eligibility for a Guaranteed Transfer
To qualify for the TAG pathway, students must:
- Complete an ADT (Associate Degree for Transfer) at a California Community College or have at least 30 UC/CSU transferable units.
- Maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA (some HBCUs require a higher GPA for certain programs).
Where Can You Transfer?
Several HBCUs have agreements with California Community Colleges, ensuring a seamless transfer process. Here are just a few of the participating institutions:
- Alabama State University
- Bowie State University
- Dillard University
- Grambling State University
- Morehouse College
- Texas Southern University
- Virginia State University
- And many more!
