<p>EXAMPLE: UC Santa Cruz and Chabot College on ASSIST.org with the Political Science major. It says only 2 Political Science courses are required prior to transfer. Super Easy.</p>
<p>EXAMLE 2: UC Irvine and Chabot College on ASSIST.org with the Business Administration major. It says you have to complete 2 courses in business, 2 in economics, 1 course in Statistics and 2 courses of Calculus 1 & 2. Not so easy. </p>
<p>When applying to UCI, will they reject you if you complete everything except the Calculus? Can't you take Calculus after you transfer?</p>
<p>I'm IGETC certified and will probably have 70 units done before transfer WITHOUT the Calc courses because I'm doing courses in Business, Econ, and Poli Sci.</p>
<p>They can deny you if you do not complete all your prereqs. However, normally schools are more concerned with your English/Math prereqs than anything else. You’ll typically find that the more prestigious schools have a lot more strenuous prereqs.</p>
<p>Depending on how selective the major is, you may not be competitive if you don’t have all the requirements completed. Most UCs now expect students to try their best to complete ALL requirements (you are more desirable if you attend multiple CCCs in order to obtain all required courses compared to someone who just throws up his/her hands and give give up if the courses are not offered at his/her CCC).</p>
<p>The short answer is no you don’t, the more you have done, the better. However, schools realize you still have at least two years of classes left, so unless the major is impacted it’s not the end of the world.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>UCI’s Biz/Econ is VERY Competitive! You would absolutely lower your chances by not taking Calc 1 and 2 before transfer.</p></li>
<li><p>I know 4 people who have transfered into the exact major at UCI, all of which completed Calc before time of transfer.</p></li>
<li><p>Remember, UC’s consider several things when evaluating transfer students. </p></li>
<li><p>However, the top two are ALWAYS:
1) Grade Point Average
2) Prerequisites Completed</p></li>
</ul>
