2. California’s Master Plan for Higher Education • Since 1960, the California Master Plan for Higher Education has guided our public higher education system. • The master plan states that students can complete the first two years of a bachelor’s degree program at a community college and if they meet certain requirements, they will be admitted to a UC or CSU campus. • As an institution, Delta College is committed to helping students transfer to a 4-year university and realize their dreams to achieve a college degree.
