The Yosemite Community College District is home to two community colleges, Columbia College (CC) and Modesto Junior College (MJC). That means that some of Columbia’s courses are considered “comparable" to courses offered at Modesto Junior College. Students who have taken courses at either school and wish to take courses at the other, should see the course crosswalk below. This list is subject to change. See the Articulation Officer in the Counseling Office for questions about course equivalencies between the two colleges. Please note: although this list indicates comparable content in courses at both colleges, it does not guarantee that courses will fulfill the same transfer requirements. Please verify by seeing a counselor and using ASSIST, the official transfer and articulation system for California’s public colleges and universities.
