<p>Is it possible to even transfer as an electrical engineering major from cc to UCs?</p>
<p>At my local CC (Mission College) They have pretty much all the ges, but none of the engineering courses intro to circuitry, computer architecture, etc.</p>
<p>My main goal is to transfer as EE major to Cal/UCLA/USC</p>
<p>I plan to tag to Davis though, but im wondering if its even possible because it looks like I can't get all the required courses.</p>
<p>Also, since I'm doing EE, do I have to do IGETC?</p>
<p>Yes, it is possible. Check out assist.org, plug in your school, Cal/UCLA, EE major and it will show you what to take and what the equivalent course at your CC is. (I did your school to UCLA for EE for example and it looks like you can take most everything you need). Depending on the amount of pre-reqs you can take or need IGETC might not be worth doing, meet with your counselor and see.</p>
<p>I looked from Mission to Cal/LA and it looks like all the required courses you need to transfer you can take (math, physics, english, etc). There are some courses that are recommended that your school doesn’t offer (you could always see if nearby CC’s offer those courses aswell or online), you are still able to transfer with those missing as you would just take them wherever you transfer. You don’t need to take every course listed, only the ones it says are required.</p>
<p>Obviously, the higher the GPA and the more recommended classes completed the better. The average admitted GPA for UCLA EE was 3.76 so if you are above that and have all required classes completed then yes I think you have a good chance. </p>
<p>I would talk to an admissions officer at UC Davis and see if you could still TAG as EE with a few required classes missing that your CC doesn’t offer. They’ll know your CC doesn’t offer them when they go over your application, but then again they are required so I don’t exactly know how that works.</p>
<p>If there’s no comparable course at your school, check any other CCs near you. There are some courses that simply cannot be taken before transferring, like Berkeley’s Discrete Structures (if you’re doing EECS) you really can’t take anywhere. A couple other courses only seem to be offered at a couple schools in the state. If there isn’t a school within a reasonable distance of you that offers the courses, it shouldn’t hurt your chances too badly.</p>
<p>And remember, everyone else applying for your major is going to be having the exact same problem, and probably be missing a lot of the same classes. :P</p>
<p>For Berkeley EECS, here are some ideas to cover some of the hard to find courses:</p>
<p>CS 61A: Laney
CS 61B: Evergreen Valley, West Valley, Ohlone, De Anza (partial), Foothill (partial), Chabot (partial)
CS 61C: Diablo Valley, Cabrillo (partial)
EE 40: Ohlone, College of San Mateo, Chabot, Foothill (partial)</p>
<p>Mission College’s courses appear to be most closely aligned with the courses at San Jose State (e.g. full coverage of courses needed to transfer to EE at San Jose State); many CCs do align their courses with those at the nearest UC or CSU.</p>
<p>So it’ll be easy for me to transfer to sjsu or i can take courses at sjsu to fufill the requirement?</p>
<p>Also, when is it normal for me to take these classes? Id prefer to take the deanza courses all at once, so 1 semester i only have to drive to de anza, and 1 only to mission if you get what im saying.</p>
<p>Can i take CS61B without CS61A? I have no idea where Laney is but evergreen valley is closer to me than de anza.</p>
<p>Mission makes it easy to transfer to SJSU by having courses that closely match SJSU courses. SJSU courses will not necessarily help you at other UCs and CSUs any better than Mission courses will.</p>
<p>Laney is in Oakland (not too far from Berkeley).</p>
<p>Yes, you can take the CS 61B-equivalent course without having had the CS 61A-equivalent course. You would still have to take CS 61A at Berkeley if you transfer to Berkeley EECS or L&S CS without having taken an equivalent course before transfer.</p>
<p>Freshmen in Berkeley EECS normally take CS 61A-61B-61C starting in freshman year, completing it in sophomore year. This is alongside sequences of courses in math and physics, breadth courses in English, humanities, and social studies, and EE 40, EE 20N, and CS 70 in sophomore year.</p>
<p>Since its normal for freshmen and sophmores to take the CS classes, I’d have to drive to deanza and mission during the same semester unfortunately… :/</p>
<p>I guess you’ve prolly known, but there’s no EE major at Cal… you have to apply as EECS, and once you finish the lower division, the 6 upper division classes are up to you, meaning you can focus on EE, CS, or a mixed of both.</p>
<p>And yeah, IGETC won’t be needed, but you will need English 1A + 1B, and four humanities/social science courses (see on Assist which course at your CC satisfy which area in Cal’s requirement), and an American Culture course if I’m not mistaken…</p>
<p>And even though it’s normal for Cal freshmen to take those courses in their 1st and 2nd year, you don’t have to do the same since equivalent courses to the 61 series are hard to find at CCC. Doing so, however, will greatly increase your chance of getting in, and also help your junior year schedule much less crowded</p>
<p>Aw I knew I had to take english 1a+1b, but i didnt know about the social science and american culture courses…</p>
<p>From browsing the assist.org site, I was looking up UCSB, and realized it required engineering 3, but none of the ccs near me have that course (mission, san jose city, evergreen valley, de anza)</p>
<p>ENGR 3 Introduction to Programming (3)|No course articulated
for Engineers</p>
<p>Berkeley EECS is under the College of Engineering, whose breadth requirement has six courses in humanities and social studies. These must include:</p>
<p>English R1A and R1B or equivalent reading and composition courses.
At least one American cultures course.
Two upper division courses, at least one of which is in the same department as one of the other humanities and social studies courses.</p>
<p>Note that the upper division course requirement means that transfer students from CC to Berkeley engineering will still need to take at least two of the breadth courses at Berkeley. Often, at least one of these will have to be an American cultures course, since few CC courses are articulated against that requirement.</p>
<p>Note that Berkeley L&S CS is in the College of Letters and Science, which does accept IGETC for its breadth requirements (which are different from those of the Berkeley College of Engineering), although the American cultures requirement is not fulfilled by IGETC.</p>
