College drop out looking to go back to school for Computer Science

<p>Perhaps the cheap plan to graduate from UCSD would be to:</p>

<p>a. Take the beginner/intermediate foreign language courses at CC to get to the level needed to take the literature course(s) needed for the current major.
b. Take the CC courses articulating to UCSD’s lower division CSE courses 8A/8AL/8B or 11, 12, 15L, 20, 21, and 30 in order to be ready for UCSD’s CSE 100 and more advanced courses.
c. With the above complete, attend one or two quarters at UCSD to complete the foreign literature course(s) and take CSE 100 and more advanced CSE courses as desired.
d. Graduate from UCSD.</p>

<p>But be careful of the unit limit when transferring CC units.</p>

<p>Remember that UCSD’s value in CS is in the upper division, since lower division CS courses can be taken at CCs. If you are prepared to do upper division CS courses, then you will be able to make the most use of any time you have at UCSD.</p>
