Prospective transfer students, find out about preparing for a major at UCSD.
UCSD's academic departments specify courses you must take during the first two years of college to prepare for upper-division study in your major.
Begin coursework in your major as soon as you have selected one. We advise you to complete all lower-division major courses before you enroll at UCSD.
See the UCSD General Catalog for a list of major prerequisites or the departmental Web site for a specific major.
UCSD has established major preparation articulation agreements with many California community colleges. Visit the ASSIST Web site to find out how your coursework might transfer to UCSD.
Check Impacted Majors for information about majors that have limited enrollment.
