College of the Desert Transfer Advocates

Transfer Advocates are College of the Desert faculty who have volunteered to speak with students about their own university experience. Students can ask about a particular field of study, campus environments, or potential career paths. Contact a Transfer Advocate today to learn about the major or school in which you’re interested. Then, contact a counselor to learn more about the specific transfer requirements to help you meet your goals.
