Transfer Students
Transfer students with 60 or more semester units (90+ quarter units) should complete the following courses prior to admission to UCLA:
* one year of general biology with laboratory (preferably equivalent to Life Science 1 and 2)
* one year of general chemistry with laboratory
* one year of calculus
* one semester of organic chemistry with laboratory
* a second semester of organic chemistry OR one year of calculus-based physics HIGHLY recommended but not required
California community college students should use ASSIST at http://www.assist.org to find course equivalencies between UCLA and the institution they are transferring from. Completion of the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) is highly recommended. If you are unable to complete IGETC, please see the General Education Articulation Agreement for your community college. All students wishing to transfer to UCLA must follow the admissions guidelines found at www.admissions.ucla.edu. Please keep in mind that applications are only accepted once a year during the month of November for entrance in the following Fall Quarter. Please remember that the Neuroscience undergraduate department does not review individual applications.
PLEASE NOTE:
Demand for the life science majors significantly exceeds space available. Because these majors require the completion of extensive preparatory coursework prior to transfer, you must be admitted directly into a life science major; you will not be able to change from a non-life science major after admission to UCLA.
INCOMING TRANSFER STUDENTS
Congratulations and welcome to UCLA!
The best thing you can do is to sign up for an Orientation Session in the summer. You will get lots of information about UCLA and the Neuroscience major. It is possible to finish the requirements in two years, but most students take a class or two in summer school.
