UCLA Anthropology (B.S) Transfer Requirements

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>So I'm currently attending a junior college with a major in Anthropology. I chose to do a B.S because I have a passion for the sciences and really would like to incorporate that into my studies in Anthropology. I want to transfer to UCLA in a couple years. The problem is that I seriously doubt I'll be able to complete all the prerequisites for my major. (Transfer</a> Major Prep - Anthropology (B.S.) - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions)</p>

<p>Biology and chemistry classes are nearly impossible to get into here. Most of the students at my college are nursing students, so EVERYONE is trying to get into those classes. I have friends who have literally been trying for years to get into those classes without luck. I read on UCLA's site that it's preferable that I finish as many of the prerequisites as possible. Will not having finished those biology and chemistry courses hurt my chances of getting accepted? Is there a way I can sort of explain to the school that I can't finish them where I am and just do them at the university?</p>

<p>Have you tried to find those courses at another CC close by? I think the UCs said that if your CC doesn’t have a required prerequisite then they’ll take one from any CCC.</p>

<p>Apply as a BA and if admitted you may switch to BS. The Anthropology Dept will allow the switch without hesitation. If you don’t believe me, just email Ann Walters or Eric (staff).</p>

<p>You should still try to complete as many science courses at the CC level since they’re probably a bit easier.</p>

<p>Credibility: I’m a UCLA Anthro graduate.</p>

<p>Like smurray09 said, try and take it at a near by CC. It is important that you take as many prerequisites as possible.</p>
