Hello. I’m a transfer student applying for sociology.

Are the UC’s looking for particular coursework to be a strong transfer applicant? How much does coursework matter?

I completed all of my major requirements (even took additional soc classes) and finished everything for IGETC, but I still need more units. I was planning on taking 5 classes next semester, 2 of which include an art and theater class since I’m pretty creatively driven. Would these “elective” classes have a negative impact on my application? I only took 1 elective in my previous coursework.

Since you are majoring in sociology you should try and take related courses to show your passion - psych, other Soc classes, cultural Anthro, etc.
