Various Transfer Questions

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>I'm going to be a Freshman at UC Davis this fall, but eventually want to transfer to UCB, UCSB or UCLA. My questions are as follows:</p>

<p>1) Davis is on the quarter system, so when I apply to transfer after 2 years, how many units do I need, since UCB and perhaps the others are on the semester system, not quarters?</p>

<p>2) I'm majoring in computer engineering right now. I can't find any pages that lists the specific classes I must take. I noticed UCLA doesn't have computer engineering, so do I apply under Computer Science or Electrical Engineering? If so, is there some page that lists what classes I must take?</p>

<p>3) Following off of number 2, what are the 'prequisites' that I must fulfull? I saw this in the "UC Transfer FAQ" thread, and I'm somewhat confused.</p>

<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!</p>

<p>One last bump</p>

<p>1) you need to have 90 quarter units, which is equivalent to 60 semester units. but try to not go over 70 semester units. (conversion rate from quarter to semester is 2/3)</p>

<p>1.) 90 quarter units. (Don’t exceed 120 quarter units since some UC’s don’t accept intercampus transfers after you’ve completed that many units) </p>

<p>2.) Assist.org and look at the articulation agreement from a community college. Those courses under the UC side (right side) are the courses you need to take.</p>

<p>3.) I’ve always assumed prereqs = major preparation and those are the courses above.</p>

<p>Edit: searching the forums for “intercampus transfer” may also be useful</p>

<p>Thanks. Since UCs aren’t given as choices, I chose my current school as a CC.</p>

<p>Here’s what it said:</p>

</p>

<p>It’s similar for UCLA/UCSB. I’m still somewhat confused – can someone help me figure out what this translates to in UCD courses?</p>

<p>See in UCD’s catalog if there are courses comparable to those above.</p>

<p>COMPSCI 70 Discrete Mathematics
is this like the ECS 20?</p>

<p>Anyone know?</p>

<p>What’s ECS 20? If that’s a Davis class, then most won’t know since most here don’t attend Davis.</p>

<p>It looks like either way, since there isn’t a solid articulation between the schools, you’re going to have to use your best judgment. Read the course descriptions. Take the classes that you would take at Davis to graduate with a degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering. If you take the Computer Engineering classes, there is the possibility that they won’t transfer.</p>

<p>Go to assist.org and there is an articulation agreement between UCD and UCSD for Computer Engineering. Even on this agreement, the only course equivalencies are in Calculus and Physics. There are no other classes articulated. Because of this, the obvious route would be to first and foremost finish your Calculus and Physics classes and don’t jump into any specific classes (like computer engineering X) since doing so will cause you more trouble when trying to transfer your classes over for credit.</p>

<p>Also try and get in touch with at least 1-2 people from the EECS/CE Departments at UCLA and UCB. Hopefully they can give you more help.</p>

<p>Ok, thanks!</p>
