<p>I decided to make a thread in this forum and not the UC Transfer forum because I'm more concerned with transferring anywhere as a film major.</p>
<p>I'm attending a CCC hoping to transfer to UCSD as a Visual Arts: Media major, but the courses using assist.org don't articulate for my school. Should I take classes most similar and still hope to transfer in while applying to other schools as well or choose another school altogether?</p>
<p>To anyone: don’t be shy to correct me =)</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Just follow the IGETC and you’ll be fine. Remember UCSD has a Oxford-like curriculum, so will be taking additionally GE courses along with with your major.</p>
<p>And they don’t have a “film” major. From people I’ve talked to, it’s not really a film production-based school either. Btw, I applied there, too ;)</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>That’s because many CCC’s don’t offer them. I go to MTSAC and I talked to a UCSD rep and she told me just follow the IGETC, and I’d be fine. </p>
<p>Many of those courses are courses you will take over there anyhow.</p>
<p>*I don’t mean to be rude, but more advice-giving; UCSD is around 5-6th on my list of Film Schools in CA. And I did research.</p>
<p>UCSD has the mixture of film/photography/studio art and from the people I’ve spoken to, many seemed a bit unsatisfied with their program from a PRODUCTION standpoint, which may or may not be your cup.</p>
<p>If you want more production, go to it’s “little sister,” SDSU. They have a strong film program for about half the price cheaper. </p>
<p>I would rank the UC’s in film.</p>
<h2>UCLA - The only one that’s production based, but hard as hell to get into.</h2>
<p>UCSB - recently built this multi-million dollar building dedicated to film:</p>
<p>[Carsey-Wolf</a> Center for Film, Television, and New Media](<a href=“http://www.cftnm.ucsb.edu/]Carsey-Wolf”>http://www.cftnm.ucsb.edu/)</p>
<p>UCSD - above
UCB - Well…it’s Cal. Plus, the atmosphere is quite “inspiring.”
UCI - If you want to be a screenwriter, they have strong creative writing courses.</p>
<p>Cal-State:</p>
<p>CSULB
CSUSD
CSUN
CSUSF
CSULA</p>
<p>I’ve heard they have strong production based programs with a fraction of the price.</p>
<p>It’s weird that UC’s only have ONE school that offers FILM PRODUCTION, while CSU have at least 8 schools I can think of. You would think since many of the UC’s are considered “public ivy,” they would have more emphasis on the visual arts, at least.</p>
<p>Anyways, I’m dying to get into UCLA’s film school. But I’d be happy to be at SDSU/CSULB.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot. I’ve heard good things from CSULB and UCSB as well. What caught my attention at UCSD though was the Visual Arts: Media major even though it’s not exactly ‘film’ per say.</p>
