In addition to the three public systems of higher education, California is also home to 130 independent colleges and universities that are accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
77 non-profit, degree granting colleges and universities accredited by WASC form the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities (AICCU). Among many other activities, AICCU publishes a Guide for Students, Parents, and Counselors about its member institutions and distributes a brochure – A Closer Look – that briefly describes them. These and other materials are available from the Career & Transfer Resource Center.
Of the 77 dependent colleges and universities, 48 accept and admit transfer students, see articulation details for CSU-GE and IGETC below.
