De Anza to UC transfers as Psych Major

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>I’m a prospective student of De Anza (will be enrolling next semester or so), and I want a basic idea of preparing for UC transfer. I have some questions and am looking for some answers and tips.</p>

<p>I’ve looked at ASSIST.ORG for Pre-req courses and I understand them roughly, but am rather confused with the IGETC for UC’s.</p>

<p>I’m also a bit nervous about choosing the right school for me, as I look into majoring in Psychology - counseling. So, if anybody here knows anything, please tell me which UC is most apt for a BA in Psychology.</p>

<p>Currently, I’m looking at UCB and UCLA and possibly UCSD (I see that De Anza has a TAG with UCSD) as my top targets, but am still a novice when it comes to the actual quality of Psych courses at these or any other UC’s.</p>

<li>Tell me more about IGETC? Is it more important to finish IGETC or the Pre-req’s?</li>
<li>Tell me about UC’s with an excellent Psychology program.</li>
<li>Any other advices from any UC psych majors out there?</li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks in advance, this is my first post in… three years of peaking, but I love you guys. :></p>

<p>1.) IGETC is just a general education plan for CC students. Once completed and certified, you'll be done with your lower division general ed. Though its not a requirement, you should complete the IGETC as well your pre-reqs to be competitive. Take a look at <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/uc-transfers/390953-uc-transfer-faq.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/uc-transfers/390953-uc-transfer-faq.html&lt;/a> for more information. </p>

<p>2.) I've heard UCLA's psychology program is one of the best</p>

<p>If you are considering multiple UC campuses you might take a look at UCTransfer.org</a> - Home . In particular, UC</a> Statewide Transfer Preparation Paths might be very helpful to compare the Psychology programs at the various UC campuses.</p>
