About City Scholars
City Scholars is a transfer-focused two-year, cohort-based program at Sacramento City College, “The People’s College”! The program is designed to address persistent equity gaps in transfer rates for disproportionately impacted (DI) students, particularly Black/ African-American, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American, and Pacific Islander. City Scholars offers a two-year, cohort-based Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) pathway that prepares students for seamless transfer to Sacramento State University, University of California campuses, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and other four-year institutions.
Through the program, students will successfully transfer to a four-year university with structured course sequences, a built-in community of peers, and dedicated guidance and success coaching. Students may complete an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) in one of three popular majors:
- Psychology
- Business
- Administration of Justice
