The UC Transfer Website
and Major Preparation

Transfer students should select a major and take courses that meet major requirements. In most cases, completing a portion of the major requirements is essential to gain admission to the major.

The Transfer Preparation Paths at the UC transfer website outline the major-preparation requirements at each UC campus for the most popular majors. They are particularly useful in helping students identify major-preparation coursework that will prepare them for multiple UC campuses. Information on major-preparation requirements also is available in the campus General Catalogs and articulation agreements and at ASSIST.org.

Students can use ASSIST's Exploring Majors feature to find programs of study at all UC campuses and link to campus websites, where they’ll find descriptions and coursework requirements for each major.

Students planning to attend or attending a community college can also use the ASSIST website to review transferable course information, investigating how community college coursework will apply when transferred to UC.
