One transferable college course (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units) in mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning.
Four transferable college courses (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units each) chosen from at least two of the following subject areas:
Arts and Humanities
Social and Behavioral Sciences
Physical and Biological Sciences
Each course must be worth at least 3 semester units.
Keep in mind that meeting these requirements does not guarantee admission to the campus or major of your choice. Many campuses and majors receive more applications than they have spaces available. To be competitive, you should work toward meeting the specific requirements for the campuses and majors you're interested in. Make an appoinment with your transfer counselor to get specific requirements for the campus of your choice.

What is UC Major Preparation?

Where can I find the requirements for my Major?
Question: What is an Impacted Major?
If you are interested in an impacted major, you must apply during the initial filing period. You will be subject to supplementary admission criteria.
Can I change my major once I enroll on a UC campus? This depends on the university and the college within the university. If allowed, you will be expected to complete lower-division requirements for the new major, so your time to complete a degree may be affected. (Though it may be be possible to change your major once you are at the university, it is advised that you never try to manipulate the system. You may find yourself blocked from switching majors.)
