<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am a UCI student who is looking to transfer to UC Berkeley as a history major. I was wondering how classes in the quarter system fit into the UCB semester system. I am planning to take History 15C (Asian-American History) as one of my GEs at UCI. Will it count as part of my major (History) requirements for UCB? This class would conflict with my schedule, but if it counts for UCB then I will take it.</p>
<p>For intercampus transfer, you must complete as many of your major prerequisites as possible (preferably all of them; for Berkeley, not UCI) in order to be competitive for admission consideration. </p>
<p>To minimize delays in graduation, you should complete the general education (lower-division) requirements at UCI prior to the end of your sophomore year. The UC reciprocity agreement allows you to use the requirements from UCI to fulfill the requirements at Berkeley (one-for-one swap). You may still successfully transfer without completing these requirements; however, you may be required to comply with the lower-division requirements at Berkeley after transfer and that could prolong your time to graduation.</p>
<p>Berkeley generally discourages intercampus transfer. Applicants with compelling reason for needing the transfer and those who have exceptional academic records and/or leadership potentials are more likely to be considered for admission.</p>
