Applying to Berkeley as a transfer...

<p>Hey --</p>

<p>On ASSIST, when you look up most of the community colleges in California and check articulation agreement with Berkeley, it says "courses denied" for the philosophy equivalents at the community colleges. Here's a good example:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.assist.org/web-assist/report.do?agreement=aa&reportPath=REPORT_2&reportScript=Rep2.pl&event=19&dir=1&sia=SBCC&ria=UCB&ia=SBCC&oia=UCB&aay=05-06&ay=05-06&dora=PHILOS%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.assist.org/web-assist/report.do?agreement=aa&reportPath=REPORT_2&reportScript=Rep2.pl&event=19&dir=1&sia=SBCC&ria=UCB&ia=SBCC&oia=UCB&aay=05-06&ay=05-06&dora=PHILOS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>So, what does this mean? That they won't count those courses if you're applying transfer as a philosophy major? If that's the case, doesn't that make transferring as a philosophy major kind of... uh... difficult, unless you go to a community college where they don't say "course denied" for the lower division equivalents? (Only CC I've seen that's like that is the City College of San Francisco so far...)</p>

<p>In your case it says that completion of prereqs is not a "must do" requirment. That means you can probably transfer by just doing IGETC.</p>
