Anyone know how to transfer from community college to UCLA architecture ? I heard they have different way than Cal poly or USC.
ARCHITECTURAL STUDIES
The focus of the architectural studies major is on the built environment. The curriculum conceives of architecture as a cultural, creative, and technical practice and a discipline with direct social impact. Within the context of a liberal arts education, a finely balanced set of architecture and urban design courses ranging from the history and theory of design to contemporary building technologies will provide students with a diverse foundation of knowledge in the field of architecture and prepare them for graduate school and/or careers in a wide range of fields.
Preparation for the major*
two courses in the history of architecture (Pre-history–Mannerism and 1600–Present)
one introduction to architectural studies course
*Most transfer applicants will be required to complete these three preparatory courses at UCLA.
Portfolio and supplemental requirements
In addition to the general UC Application, applicants must submit a portfolio of creative work as well as departmental statement of interest by digital upload. Additional fees may apply. Specific guidelines may be found at: www.arts.ucla.edu/prospective-students.
Applicants are considered on the basis of academic achievement as well as departmental screening requirements. California community college students are strongly encouraged to complete IGETC; all other transfer students are encouraged to make progress toward completion of the school’s general education requirements.
Applicants to the school must have a minimum 3.0 GPA at the time of application. In addition to the UC Application, applicants are required to submit supplemental application material (e.g., portfolio or audition, artist statements, and letters of recommendation; additional fees may apply). Specific requirements, deadlines and procedures for submission must be obtained from each department’s website—see individual major sections below for more information. Applicants should begin working on the department’s supplemental application shortly after submitting the UC Application, as deadlines are strictly enforced.
TRANSFER SELECTION
The transfer selection review considers academic, personal, and additional school/major-specific academic criteria.
Academic Criteria
Junior-level standing (60 semester/90 quarter transferable units completed) by the end of the spring term before you transfer.
Progress towards completion of major preparation requirements by spring prior to transfer (see below).
There may be additional lower division requirements that students can complete at their current institutions or at UCLA. Should a major not have specific prerequisites, we expect students to demonstrate interest in academic study by completing coursework related to the major.
Completion of the following course requirements by spring prior to transfer:
-Two transferable courses in English composition/critical thinking and writing.
-One transferable math course that has a prerequisite of intermediate algebra or higher.
-Four transferable college courses in at least two of the following subject areas: arts and humanities, social and behavioral sciences, physical and biological sciences.
