<p>so when i transfer, i'm going to have to be taking my core major classes, and my major is "law and society"...</p>
<p>but, i still really wish to take some other classes, like philosophy, or maybe another type of class.</p>
<p>what's the rule behind this, when a transfer student wants to take some classes --outside-- of his major</p>
<p>THANKS</p>
<p>Well, I dont know about at other schools, but I am definitely taking classes outside of my major at Berkeley. My major is American Studies. I will be taking American Studies 10, History 121, English 100, and Religious Studies 90. Only the first two are applicable to my major. </p>
<p>If you think youre going to be really interested in this other thing, you might consider a minor or double major. </p>
<p>Other than that, I cant really help without more info.</p>
<p>English100?! Didn't you complete that before transfer? Or does English 100 mean something else at Berkeley?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure you can take whatever lower-division classes you want after you transfer, your school might have a unit cap or there might be some restrictions on upper-division classes (especially for impacted majors) though.</p>
<p>You're going to UCSB, right? UCSB requires that you take 60 upper division units in order to graduate. Since Law & Society requires 44 units of upper division courses, you'll have to take 16 more units (or 4 classes) of upper division work in Law & Society or other fields.</p>
