<p>So I understand most of us are stuck at a community college trying to complete IGETC and all of our lower division classes. That normally accounts for about, what 100 units if I'm not mistaken?</p>
<p>Either way, once we're at a UC, we all have to fulfill around 13 courses for our upper division classes. That's about 2 courses per quarter for the remaining two years. What do people take additionally? I can't imagine spending two years at a UC just fulfilling my upper division classes.</p>
<p>it all depends on your major really.</p>
<p>For example for UCI Econ </p>
<p>They require that you complete Math 4/Econ 15a,b/ 122A/b, 6 econ upper div electives , 100a/b/c series / 1 upper division writing</p>
<p>so 15 classes right there or 60 units. </p>
<p>Leaving about 20 units left. </p>
<p>For me i am doing a management minor to fill those 20 units or you can always do an accounting minor or any minor.</p>
<p>Or else you just take random B.S class to get those last 20. You can always get credit also for doing internships and undergraduate research as well.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, it can really depend on your major. Some are heftier than others and will require more. Also, sometimes you transfer in and don’t take into account additional courses you may need.</p>
<p>Many people take minors to fill up those units/quarters. This is what I’m doing where I am.</p>
<p>I’m double majoring and none of my classes overlap so meeting minimum units to graduate/filling my time for two years is far from a problem for me because of it. I have zero filler courses, though. Kind of sad, really. I’m missing out on a lot of fun classes, but I’m enjoying what I am taking.</p>
<p>Right now, I’m set to graduate with around 256 quarter units. Minimum I needed was 180 and I completed that amount a couple quarters ago.</p>
<p>I was actually wondering the same thing. Im a political science major so theres not too many upper division courses to take once I transfer, I think only 44 at UCSB. Does that mean I get to graduate whenever I’m done with my 44 units?</p>

From UCSB’s website:
</p>
<p>[Letters</a> & Science Academic Advising :: Unit Requirements](<a href=“http://www.advising.ltsc.ucsb.edu/graduation/units.php]Letters”>http://www.advising.ltsc.ucsb.edu/graduation/units.php)</p>
<p>Even if you transferred in with the max 105 quarter units (if all your work is from a community college), then you would still have 31 units left to complete before you would be eligible to graduate. And assuming all of those 44 units are upper division, then 16 of those 31 units would have to be upper division to graduate as well.</p>
<p>No, you don’t get to graduate as soon as you finish you UD major requirements. If after finishing your UD major requirements, you still don’t have 180 total units,(including 60 UD) then you can get a minor or take elective classes. Some schools even have a few UD general Ed requirements you must meet. For example at UCSD Marshall you have to take 2 UD GE classes in addition to your major stuff. Like I said, get a minor or take electives. There’s no graduating with just 150 units.</p>
<p>Okay, that helps a lot. I’ll have to minor in something then, probably econ. Thanks guys!</p>
