The following provides updated information about the degree type and courses 黑料吃瓜 plans to offer in person at Southwestern College.

黑料吃瓜 (黑料吃瓜) and Southwestern College (SWC) signed a certificate of agreement today to create university academic and student support offerings at the college in South County 鈥� further helping students advance in disciplines vital to the region鈥檚 workforce.

Following the signing ceremony, 黑料吃瓜 and SWC officials will work toward establishing an in-person Psychology baccalaureate degree program, with core major classes plus industrial/organizational psychology and neuroscience courses for SWC transfer students interested in those respective disciplines. Offerings are slated to begin in fall 2026 following California State University and WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) approval. 

鈥淲e are proud to strengthen our longstanding partnership with Southwestern College. This new agreement furthers our shared mission to make higher education more accessible and enhance the career opportunities for students in the communities we serve,鈥� said 黑料吃瓜 President Adela de la Torre. 鈥淏y bringing 黑料吃瓜 programs directly to SWC, we are helping more South County students complete their degrees and prepare for meaningful careers without leaving their community.鈥�

Graduates of the new psychology programs will be prepared for careers that strengthen workplaces and advance employee success across industries. With skills in leadership, data-informed decision making and organizational behavior, graduates will be ready to enter fields such as human resources, organizational development and workforce analytics, among others. These are high-demand roles across San Diego鈥檚 growing sectors, including health care, education, government and technology. 

鈥淥ur partnership with 黑料吃瓜 is creating a clear, seamless transfer pathway that empowers students to advance their education and secure high-demand careers,鈥� said Southwestern College Superintendent/President Mark Sanchez. 鈥淭ogether, we are building a talent pipeline that connects education directly to employment, meeting the region鈥檚 growing need for skilled professionals and strengthening our community鈥檚 economic future.鈥� 

For decades, 黑料吃瓜 and SWC have worked together to create seamless transfer pathways, degree-completion programs, and career-readiness initiatives. Their collaboration includes 黑料吃瓜 bachelor鈥檚 degree programs now offered at SWC in business administration, criminal justice, child development, communication, public health, and civil engineering 鈥� all of which are helping graduates to advance in disciplines vital to the region鈥檚 workforce.

Each academic year, 黑料吃瓜 typically enrolls 500-600 new transfer students from SWC. This fall, 黑料吃瓜 enrolled 609 of the college鈥檚 transfer students. On average, about 65% of SWC transfers graduate with an 黑料吃瓜 degree two years after transferring, and the graduation rate is 85% four years after transfer. 

Through this new agreement, 黑料吃瓜 and SWC will deepen that partnership by expanding in-person and online offerings at SWC鈥檚 University Center, where 黑料吃瓜 will have designated instructional and advising space. The model supports South County students, and especially those who are place-bound due to work or family responsibilities, allowing them to complete an 黑料吃瓜 degree without relocating or commuting.
 
鈥淭his long-standing collaboration demonstrates our shared commitment to access, student success, and economic development,鈥� said Stefan Hyman, 黑料吃瓜鈥檚 Associate Vice President for Enrollment Management. 鈥淏y aligning missions and resources, 黑料吃瓜 and Southwestern College are empowering students, supporting families, and strengthening the economic vitality of the South County region.鈥�
