State Forums

<p>Currently i am a high school senior graduating in 2 months. I got accepted into a few cal states but i want to go to a better school so most likely i will go to SMC then transfer to UCLA. That is where i need help i don't know what classes or how to organize my schedule. I know about the IGETC but i don't understand it i have been really stressed out thinking about this for the last couple of weeks because i don't want to spend more than 2 years at SMC. I would really be thankful if someone could help me create a good plan for my next two years at SMC that would give me a solid chance at getting into UCLA. Math has never been my strongest subject i placed into math 31 in the assessment test(i might retake) and English 1 and i want to get a degree in Business Economics or just Economics will my lack in math skills hurt me in trying to get this major? I really Hope someone can help me because it's really scary thinking about falling into the community college trap.</p>

<p>Talk to the transfer counseling office at SMC and get really good grades. SMC has about 500 students a year transfer to UCLA so they know what they are doing in that counseling office.

<p>The counseling office will help you put together an education plan. You can start out by learning about education planning -

<p>and what classes are required for your major (economics) in order to transfer to UCLA - <a href=“http://www.smc.edu/AcademicPrograms/PhiSoc/Pages/Economics-Major-Requirements.aspx”>http://www.smc.edu/AcademicPrograms/PhiSoc/Pages/Economics-Major-Requirements.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>and IGETC requirements - <a href=“http://www.smc.edu/StudentServices/TransferServices/AreasofStudy/Documents/igetc.pdf”>http://www.smc.edu/StudentServices/TransferServices/AreasofStudy/Documents/igetc.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Looks more complicated than it is. </p>

<p>Use <a href=“http://www.assist.org”>http://www.assist.org</a> to plan courses to transfer from a CC to a UC or CSU.</p>

<p>For example, an SMC student trying for business economics at UCLA would want to consult this list:

Regular economics at UCLA would require these courses:
