Should I transfer from UCI?

I would say that if UCI does not offer the major you want to pursue, then it may be not worth staying but I would try to see as suggested by @aquapt if there are some communication classes at UCI that would be within the scope of the degree you want to pursue.

However if you stay for either a few quarters or a year, be careful with the number of transferable units you accumulate since the UC’s especially have maximum unit limits. Since you transferred in from a CC, any UC units you take will be added to the CC units you transferred in with to UCI.

If you transfer, do you plan to still live at home? If so, they will limit your school options depending upon where you currently reside. Only UC Merced, Riverside or Santa Cruz accept Winter/Spring transfers.

For the Cal states, you have more options for Spring 2022, but most have deadlines on 9/30/2021 so you need to make a decision now.
