Transfer students with 60 or more semester units are expected to have satisfied, before admission to the college, the reading and composition breadth requirement, the foreign language breadth requirement, and the quantitative reasoning breadth requirement of the college. 

Transfer students who apply from community colleges in California have the option of fulfilling lower division breadth requirements by completing the Intersegmental General Education Transfer curriculum (IGETC).  This program specifies a series of subject areas and types of courses which, if completed before transfer, will satisfy the lower division breadth and general education requirements at any general campus of UC.  NOTE:  In recent years, all major programs have turned away qualified applicants because of space limitations.  Transfer applicants should be aware that admission to most majors in the college is competitive and should endeavor to complete as many of the prerequisites for their intended major as possible prior to transfer.

Contact a counselor for details and information on specific courses to satisfy the College of Letters and Science requirements.
