City Scholars
Advancing Transfer Equity Through Community, Support, and Opportunity
About City Scholars
City Scholars is a transfer-focused, two-year, cohort-based program at Sacramento City College! While the program welcomes all students, it is designed to help students save time and money to achieve their degree for transfer, particularly Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native American, and Pacific Islander (for whom transfer gaps persist).
Through the program, students will be prepared to 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 a Degree for Transfer (ADT) in one of these popular majors:
- Psychology
- Business
- Administration of Justice
