Caldera HS Pathway

Caldera High School students can take college courses through COCC that apply to both university transfer and career-focused pathways. For students planning to transfer, these courses can count toward an associate degree and transfer seamlessly to any Oregon public university as part of the Core Transfer Map. For those interested in career and technical education, courses may lead directly into programs like Manufacturing, preparing students for in-demand jobs. Each path offers a head start on college and career goals while still in high school.

Additional course requirements may be completed via concurrent enrollment. Check with your high school counselor to see what funding may be available.

Transfer

The Core Transfer Map is a starting point for students who plan to transfer to a university but are unsure of intended major or transfer destination. Students who are certain of their major should consult an advisor for information on an articulation agreement, Major Transfer Map, or degree map.
