<p>Is it possible to double major or even triple major at a UC as a transfer student? How does this work? Do you enter as a "x" major and then can take additional courses to also be a "y" major? Or instead do you state on the application that you intend to double major and list both of your preferred majors?</p>
<p>i remember hearing that after taking a certain amount of courses towards that major, you can delcare yourself that major.</p>
<p>Tripe major? I don’t think so. But you can double major w/ a minor. It depends on the school (UCLA and Cal tend to be a bit harder to declare double majors) but you gotta appeal with that department (i.e. talk to a counselor in the [entermajorhere] department) after you complete all the required courses for that major, which are listed on their respective sites. Also, it depends on the major. The more impacted ones (engineering, busecon/econ, polisci, psych, sociology, comm, etc) will be a lot harder, if not impossible, to get into.</p>
<p>To declare a [double] major, I think you just need to complete the prereqs (ie, lower division coursework for the major). You’ll probably need so many units just to finish all the requirements for two majors that you won’t have enough left over for a third (probably not even for a minor), but if you pick majors with relatively few required units, you may be able to work something out.</p>
<p>Wait, so there is a unit cap and once you reach that unit cap you are forced to graduate?</p>
<p>yep, they force you to graduate after the unit cap, and in the case of berkeley, a certain number of semesters as well…though if you can make all the units and stuff work, you can triple major, people have done it in the past though typically in very closely related fields</p>
<p>what is the unit cap?
must be pretty high - Engineering students need a boatload of math units, so if any of them want to double major, that’d be hard!</p>
<p>I believe it is 130 (and five semesters after transferring), at least for L&S.</p>
<p>130 units is reasonable considering only 1/2 of cc units count</p>
