Fernanda's Story
How COD helped her get there?
Fernanda began her college journey in 2023 during her senior year of high school through Free Early College. Following high school graduation, she enrolled full time through the plEDGE program which offers local high school graduates two years of free tuition.
Fernanda was then able to transfer to a four-year university with a double major in history and anthropology thanks to the guidance of her transfer counselor. Her focus and the help of COD staff have made it possible for her to save a lot of time and money on higher education.
During her time at COD, Fernanda was also an avid member of the rotaract club and health and fitness club.

What coursework is involved?
Fernanda is double majoring which means that the CSU General Education (CSU GE) requirements or the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC), which are about 37-39 credits, apply to both majors simultaneously. This means that overlapping requirements for general education are not duplicated for the second degree. She needs to complete around 90 combined units to complete both degrees.
