<p>Hi I am applying to UCSD and they do not require it for transfer or admissions but is rewuired for Psychology majors. If it is required by your major as undergrad work they prefer it be done before so you can focus on your upper division there. You also save money because 2 semesters at a CC equals 3 quarters at UCSD. Check TAG/IGETC and assist.org for your major and school. For example: [Major</a> Preparation for Transfer Students](<a href=“http://www.ucsd.edu/prospective-students/transfers/major-prep.html]Major”>http://www.ucsd.edu/prospective-students/transfers/major-prep.html) Also see the comparison of the colleges with in the UC or e-mail them they will answer you. Good Luck!</p>
