UCLA Political Science Transfer

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello, I'm currently attending the University of Warwick (UK) majoring in economics, politics and international studies, and I'm considering to transfer to UCLA as a Poli Sci major. I know the UC system has the general education requirenment of 2 Courses in English (x), One Intermediate Algebra or Higher (x), and Four transferable college course (x). I currently have a First Class Honour (A+) and a Second Class HOnour upper division (A-, B+) which I estimate to be around 3.8-3.9 (please correct me if I'm wrong). But it says on the website that I have to meet the Political Science requirement</p>

<h1>four courses from:</h1>

<pre><code>* introduction to political theory
* international relations/world politics (this section does it mean if I take relations and world politics it count as 2 courses of I have to choose between these 2 courses in order to count as the four course requirenment)
* introduction to American government/politics
* introduction to comparative politics
* politics and strategy
</code></pre>

<p>Since I already took Introduction to Politics, American Government (AP test 5), and World Politics and will be taking this year Political Theory from Hobbes does that mean I met the requirenment?</p>

<p>The IR/world politics requirement merely asks that you have taken a lower division course in either IR or world politics.</p>

<p>It is important to meet the requirements as best you can, but if you cannot meet all of them, it is unlikely to break you.</p>

<p>So does it mean I could take 3 courses and they will still have a chance to accept me?</p>

<p>PS: Im a CA resident with a green card</p>

<p>Well, you won't be ruled out, but you will have to compete with others who have taken those courses.</p>
