<p>I am currently a CSE major and was wondering if I switched to a life science (biology) would the Chem 20A count for anything? Would I have to continue the 20 series or can I go to Chem 14 B?</p>
<p>I am pretty sure you can’t switch… i don’t even know if they will let you start over with 14a</p>
<p>I am pretty sure I read you can’t go to 14a from the 20 series but that you could move up but don’t quote me on that. Check with the department advisor either by e-mail or in person. Not sure about starting over.</p>
<p>FAQ #2 on UCLA’s Chemistry Department website</p>
<p>Q: Can I change from the 20 series to the 14 series?</p>
<p>A: No, once you have completed 20A with a C or better, you must continue within the 20/30 series. If you complete the 20A equivalent at another school and it transfers to UCLA as 20A credit, you must continue to take the 20/30 series. If you decide to drop 20A before you complete the class, you can then start over at 14A if you would like to do so. If you take 20A and receive a C- or lower (where you would have the option of repeating the class), you can petition our office to start over in 14A, but it will not count as a repeat so the low 20A grade will stay as part of your GPA. Other than these 2 things, a student CAN NOT switch from the 20 series to the 14 series. If students need to switch from the 14 series to the 20 series because their major requires it, they can do so at certain points in the series, but must speak to a chemistry counselor before doing so.</p>
<p>I would just continue with the 20/30 series. Honestly, I think the curve is much easier in those classes compared to the 14.</p>
