<p>I've been accepted to UCSD in Marshall as a transfer. I applied as a Philosophy major, but I would also like to double major in Urban Planning. Does anyone know if it'll be difficult to declare a double major in Urban Planning? Also, I would like know about the program more, aside of what the program's website states. If you guys can give me any feedback, please, let me know.</p>
<p>@predicthisflick: As a transfer student, it really depends if you have taken any classes before you transfer to fulfill the requirements for the USP major. if you haven’t: [UCSD</a> Urban Studies and Planning](<a href=“http://usp.ucsd.edu/curriculum/finishin4.html]UCSD”>http://usp.ucsd.edu/curriculum/finishin4.html), then it’s going to be harder for you to double major because that means you need to take all those classes on top on your philosophy classes. Sorry I can’t give you any insight about the major because I’m not a USP major.</p>
<p>I appreciate the reply. I’ve checked the pre-req courses for this major and there is only one, which is statistics, and I have completed it. Other than that there is only 3 lower division courses I need to take for it. I’ve completed the philosophy lower division courses already, so I won’t have to take any of those.</p>
<p>What you could do is that you can take the 3 lower division courses over the summer and by fall, you can start taking upper division classes for USP!</p>
<p>It would be 12 courses in total for philosophy major and 15 for USP, which is a total of 27 courses, and it says I would have to finish in 9 quarters, so I think it works out perfectly. Unfortunately, I can’t do the courses in the summer, because financial aid does not start until fall quarter… Either way, I really want to submit my SIR, but I just want conformation that this is going to work out, so I might just call both departments sometime this week.</p>
<p>You know you can apply for financial aid in the summer right? [Summer</a> Session - UCSD Students - Tuition & Fees](<a href=“http://summersession.ucsd.edu/UCSD-Students/students-tuition.shtml#finaid]Summer”>http://summersession.ucsd.edu/UCSD-Students/students-tuition.shtml#finaid)
You can start applying for the summer session like April 2nd.</p>
<p>You’ve been a great deal of help. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I hope everyone at UCSD is as friendly as you are!</p>
