<p>Like Soozie I note that you talk about her doing her AA at Fullerton and then transferring to a BFA program. There are very few BFA programs that will take anyone as a true transfer. Some of the classes may count toward units in the BFA program, but for the most part a “transfer” would have to start over as a freshman or possibly a sophomore. My daughter was able to transfer into Penn State this year and was lucky to go in as a sophomore (she has enough units to be a junior). Transferring was not in her original plan, but she left her original BFA program after one semester and then attended a CC for 3 semesters. While she was accepted into all of the schools to which she applied this time around, it is not clear at what level she would have gone in; I suspect as a freshman at most of them. She was accepted into UCLA as a junior, but be aware that they only accepted one transfer student out of all of their applicants so the chances are very slim! I believe that some years, they don’t accept any transfers. One of her friends did a year at Fullerton, then came back to our CC for a year. He then transferred to BoCo last year but had to go in as a freshman. </p>
<p>Most of the BFA programs have a very set progression and their students often are moved up to each level as an entire class. They have all taken the exact same classes and had the same instructors, Therefore, it is difficult to accept a new student part way thru the program and to compare the classes they have taken elsewhere to those that their students have taken. </p>
<p>Just be aware of this when looking at your options. It might be easier to transfer into some BA programs, but again, you would have to research to find the best programs for transfers.</p>
