That may or may not be limiting. I know you mentioned UCSB - not an easy admit.
On the other list I sent before, I only see two year degrees in CA. Oregon State isn’t far and is on the WUE list (savings because you live in CA) so you might check it out. Humboldt is in state and has a program - so it might be another to look at in addition to UCSB. I don’t know if CA is based on desire or cost but Colorado State is well known too. May be “safer” admits to look at. Humboldt says this - so it must be it and UCSB:
- Zoology is one of the Biology Department’s most popular majors; it is the only Zoology major in the CSU system, and one of only two in California.
