UCLA History Majors

<p>I have a question for those who are applying or already attending UCLA. When you're admitted you are classified as pre history. So when one wants to admit the major, how many additional courses are needed in order to declare the major?</p>

<p>Required for the Premajor: Three courses, including two in Western civilization (History 1A, 1B, 1C) or two in world history (courses 20, 21, 22), and one course from 96W or 97A through 97O.</p>

<p>After completing the three courses with a minimum grade-point average of 2.0, students should petition to enter the major at the undergraduate counselor’s office in 6248 Bunche Hall.</p>

<p>Required for the Major: Three additional lower division history courses.</p>

<p>Transfer Students
Transfer applicants to the History major with 90 or more units must complete the following introductory courses prior to admission to UCLA: one semester or two quarters of history of Western civilization or world history, one historical practice course, and three additional lower division history courses.</p>

<p>Transfer credit for the premajor courses is subject to department approval. Transfer students should consult the undergraduate counselor before enrolling in any courses for the major.</p>

<p>Refer to the UCLA Transfer Admission Guide at [Transfer</a> Admission Process - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_tr.htm]Transfer”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_tr.htm) for up-to-date information regarding transfer selection for admission.</p>

<p>I’m just pasting this info from [UCLA</a> General Catalog 2010-2011](<a href=“http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/catalog/catalog10-11-396.htm#494080840_pgfId-1001790]UCLA”>http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/catalog/catalog10-11-396.htm#494080840_pgfId-1001790)</p>

<p>Hope this helps! Btw I’m not a History major, I’m applying for Pre Political Science at UCLA.</p>
