Hello all I’m a psych major transfering this year to either UCI or UCD and I was wondering if any students have switched from social science to stem as a transfer and if so were there conditions on being accepted into the major and how long did it ta j e to complete. Double majoring as well as just switching completely.
Note that a lot of the popular STEM majors at UC’s are impacted, and transfer students who aren’t accepted into that department will not be allowed to transfer. I transferred to UCSB as an Econ major and was told i’m not allowed to switch into the biology/engineering departments. The main issue is that you haven’t taken the 2 years of bio/chem/physics that pretty much all STEM majors need. This would set you back 2-3 years easy for just the lower division classes and i’m pretty sure none of the UC’s will allow a transfer student 4+ years to graduate. Your best option would be to stay at CC and finish the prerequisite classes and then reapply.
