RUTH-ANN VALENCIA: We are so excited to be launching
this new CSU mapper tool in which students will
be able to see what courses they need to take at Chaffey College
and when they transfer to Cal State San Bernardino.
This guarantees for students to finish their baccalaureate
degree within four years.
This tool will help students so they
find all the courses that they need to take on one website.
They don't have to go through the different websites
such as Assist or anything else, because that's already
been done for them.
All they have to do is maximize the use of this tool
to see exactly what they need to take, how to take it,
what semester.
And so it's a clear path for our students
to be able to transfer to Cal State San Bernardino.
ELSA SANCHEZ: The transfer mapper tool
covers the top 10 most popular majors
that Chaffey College students transfer to Cal State San
Bernardino with.
Communications, psychology, administration
of justice, sociology, history, anthropology, math, biology,
English, and child development.
RUTH-ANN VALENCIA: One of the biggest benefits
of this new tool is that students
don't have to worry about taking classes
that they do not need to take so accidental courses will not
have to be happening.
In addition, students will also be saving money
because they are only taking the classes required to transfer.
MARIATU BROWNE: So I graduated from Chaffey in 2013
but in 2015 I realized that getting another degree
will help me so I came back to Chaffey
and I took classes so that I would
be able to transfer to Cal State San Bernardino.
ELSA SANCHEZ: This tool ultimately
results in more students achieving
their educational and career goals,
having a transformative impact on our local community
and the Inland Empire region.
MARIATU BROWNE: Well, I'm definitely
able to provide for my children.
Because I used to receive welfare.
I was receiving food stamps, cash aid.
I'm not receiving that anymore.
I'm in a place where I'm making good money.
I own two Organics Salon and Spa here in Rancho Cucamonga.
I'm also a professor at California State University.
I teach small business management
and I also teach cosmetology at Riverside City College.
And giving back is really my goal now.
RUTH-ANN VALENCIA: This new tool can be found on Chaffey.edu.
You'll select current student and then
go to the transfer center.
Once on the transfer center page you'll
go to California State University finish in four.
MARIATU BROWNE: Chaffey and Cal State San Bernardino
have really defined my future, the way it is right now.
I'm so glad this tool will help the students reach
their educational goals and achieve their dreams.
