University of California Requirements

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - GENERAL

<p>I live in Canada and I did not take American History course…
It is offered at my school, but as a Grade 11 course.
I know that I could take SAT subject test… but it’s probably too late to study for that.
It doesn’t really matter if I don’t apply for UCs, but it would be nice if I could.</p>

<p>Do all the internationals have to complete American History requirement?
There is no exception?</p>

<p>World History or Geography coursework??? It would count <a href=“http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/freshman/requirements/a-g-requirements/index.html#history”>http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/freshman/requirements/a-g-requirements/index.html#history&lt;/a&gt;
Better question, can you afford the UC’s at $55K to $60K per year?</p>

<p>@"aunt bea"‌ But it says 1 year of world history AND 1 year of US history</p>

<p>And with financial aid, we could probably work it out</p>

<p>UC’s dont give financial aid to out-of-state or international students since funding comes from California taxpayers. Non California residents pay full fees. If your school doesn’t offer US history, you have to switch to another class. </p>

<p>@"aunt bea"‌ The thing is though, my school does offer US history, but as a Grade 11 course. I mean, I could take it even though I’m in Grade 12, but it’s too late to change courses. But I’ve been taking World History courses since Grade 11.</p>

<p>@infnt7ju: On the UC website, it does not specify that as an International Student you have to take US History. I suggest you email UC admissions or call to clarify. You are required to take a US History course as a condition to graduate from a UC.</p>

<p>So the question remains, can you afford $55K per year to attend a UC?</p>

8

<p>@"aunt bea"‌ yes we can</p>

<p>

Then why are you saying, “And with financial aid, we could probably work it out.”</p>

<p>@GMTplus7‌ I meant to say that with financial aid, I could definitely go. But even without it, I could still go for my education, because UC is one of my top choices.</p>

11

<p>Are out of state students required to meet the art/drama requirement? Any other substitutions accepted? Music? </p>

12

<p>The category is “Visual and Performing Arts” (scroll down to section F):</p>

<p>Music is an option.</p>

<p>@jym626‌ @grgscrjr‌ I took music all 4 years throughout my high school years but I dont get what that has to do with fulfilling US History requirement…</p>
