<p>I'll be taking Math 31A this fall quarter, although I've finished more material in high school(no AP, foreign country). For winter, can I take either math 31B or Math 32A? Also, could I also take Physics 1a then?</p>
<p>You wouldn’t be able to take Physics 1A until at least Spring Quarter because Math 31A/B are enforced requisites and you must take 32A concurrently (or before) Physics 1A. Even though you could take Math 32A without 31B, you’d still need 31B to take Physics 1A. I think the best path would be to take the sequence as they lay out: 31A, 31B, then 32A.</p>
<p>If I want to try and transfer into engineering, then would that be a problem? Is there no faster way of moving up the pathway? Also I thought Math 31B is a corequisite, not a prereq.</p>
<p>There’s no way to get past pre-/co-/requisites other than obtaining permission from the instructor/department to enroll in the class with a PTE number. Switching into engineering does not create shortcuts in class requirements.</p>
<p>31AB and 32A are coreqs for 1A, meaning you must have taken or be taking each. Usually a C- grade or better required.</p>
<p>Sorry, but do you mean that you can take math 31B and 1a together? if I’m done with 31A fall quarter? thanks! </p>
<p>oh also, what I meant is whether it matters if I have taken 1a if I want to transfer to engineering after winter quarter?</p>
<p>Physics 1A: Math 31A and 31B and 32A (corequisite)
Math 31B:course 31A (C- or better requisite)
Math 32A: course 31A (C- or better requisite)</p>
<p>You can take Physics 1A along with 31B and 32A together.</p>
<p>I don’t know engineering answers.</p>
<p>Details about switching into engineering can be found here: [Change</a> of Major ? UCLA Engineering - Office of Academic and Student Affairs](<a href=“http://www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/undergraduates/change-of-majord#for-ucla-student-who-2]Change”>http://www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/undergraduates/change-of-majord#for-ucla-student-who-2)</p>
<p>Also, “IF you are currently a freshman, you may request a change of major based on the following schedule: during your first year, you may apply after you have completed a minimum of two quarters, two required Mathematics courses, AND two other required courses (Chemistry, Physics or Life Science courses) at UCLA.”</p>
<p>Note that it is extremely competitive to switch from non-engineering to engineering majors. They will look closely at your GPA (>3.5) and expect you to take at least 2 math/science courses in one quarter and do well.</p>
<p>Alright, so that means ANY science/math courses right? Thank you very much!</p>
<p>I doubt it’s any math/science courses. TheEarlyBird’s post specified required courses. Presumably that means courses that will count towards the engineering degree requirement, and not just random math/science. Taking engineering pre-requisites also show that you’re serious and can do well in those courses, as opposed to any random course.</p>
