Eftersom Santa Monica är ett Community College kan du läsa dina två första år här för att sedan transferera till ett universitet. SMC hjälper dig att göra en "transfer" till ett universitet för att läsa klart din Bachelor utbildning (vanligtvis på ytterligare 2 år). Tidigare studenter har gjort transfers till UCLA, Columbia University, CSU Northridge mm.
