<p>Hello!</p>
<p>I am a freshman studying Political Science at UCR, though I'm going to petition to change to Political Science and Sociology. I plan on transferring to Cal to double major in Political Science and Sociology, with a minor in European Studies (this isn't offered at UCR, so I'm going to try to use this to my advantage when applying). Because of unit limits here, I cannot fulfill all of my requirements during the academic year, and have to take summer classes. If I took classes at Berkeley City College over the summer that transfer over to both UCR and Cal, would Cal accept the classes as breadths/major requirements (I plan on taking Introduction to Sociology, Psych or Anthro, and American Politics)? I know that UCR does, but I had some friends tell me that it may not be the case for Cal. Would the classes also go on my official UC transcript?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>I believe I can answer this as I was just reading about this today. Major requirements must be the ones that match your destination UC major, not the requirements for the same major at your current UC. Hopefully, that is what you’ve done. And UCB is the only UC that doesn’t like the UC to UC transfer and doesn’t do it much - unless there is a vital cause. I suggest you contact Berkeley to find out.</p>
<p>You would be better off dropping out of UCR and going to community college next year if you want to get into cal. </p>
<p>I transferred into UCB this year from UCR as an economics major so it is possible. For the UC reciprocity agreement I would try to make it easier by maybe choosing one major and a possible minor in something else so that you won’t have too complete as many units. For summer school you can take it at an accredited cc program though you can only do it over the summer after your first year (meaning that when you do transfer for the fall semester you can’t take classes over the summer to fulfill your UC reciprocity agreement). For example, you’re transferring into cal as a fall 2015 student but you can’t take summer 2015 courses to fulfill UC GE requirements cal will not let you. Your best option is get all your breadth courses done by this summer after your first year and take over the maximum number of units for each quarter (maybe 5 classes if it fulfills your UC transfer requirements).</p>
