<p>quotes from UCI transfer admission pages:</p>
<p>“For the past several years, the average self-reported GPA of community college transfer students admitted to UC Irvine has been between 3.0 and 3.6; approximately 76 percent of the community college students who enroll at UC Irvine have self-reported GPAs of 3.0 or higher. Because campus selection criteria (beyond minimum eligibility) vary annually, all students who meet the minimum UC admission requirements are encouraged to apply for admission. Students are also encouraged to indicate an alternate major on the admission application.”</p>

Computer Science and Engineering
(offered jointly with the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences)
Additional Requirements<br>
Have a cumulative UC transferable GPA of 2.8 (3.2 for TAG)
Have a GPA of 3.0 in required courses
Complete one year of approved calculus
Complete one year of calculus-based physics with labs (mechanics, electricity and magnetism)
Complete one year of transferable computer science courses involving concepts such as those found in Java, Scheme, C++, or other object-oriented, high-level programming language
Complete one additional approved transferable course for the major (an approved math, science or CSE course - see column to the right)
Note: Additional computer science courses beyond the two required are strongly recommended, particularly those that align with the major of interest. Java is used extensively in the curriculum; therefore, transfer students should plan to learn it by studying on their own or by completing a Java-related programming course prior to their first quarter at UCI.
(TAG Applicants: any three courses required for the major need to be completed with required grades by the summer prior to the TAG submission period)
Approved Courses
One course in data structures
One course in software engineering
One course in discrete mathematics
One course in Boolean algebra
