Understand Your Degree

You can start working on your UC bachelor's degree with your first term at a community college. This includes taking basic subjects like English and math, exploring different fields through electives and general education classes, and preparing for your major once you’ve got one in mind. You should also take courses that make you eligible for transfer admission. In many cases you can choose courses that apply to your transfer eligibility requirements, your major, and to General Education.

By the time you’re ready to transfer, UC expects that you will have completed (or nearly completed) the equivalent of the freshman and sophomore coursework you would have taken at UC to prepare you for your junior year in your chosen major.
