Agree with @bluebayou. The UC’s target OOS for the OOS fees. (Right now, the state deficit is huge {billions} and Newsome said that they will be cutting some jobs this coming term.)
These are large, public universities and many are on the quarter system. Many of the students in California are on similar quarter systems and, when they matriculate, they are used to the system and adjust quickly to their syllabus schedules. Ten weeks per course.

Also, if your daughter has not already considered the UC’s, “F” requirement (A-G academic admissions requirements for HS students), she needs to be aware that she will be required to take a graded course in Visual and Performing arts. It can’t be dance one semester and then painting the next semester. It has to be in the same discipline for one year, with an academic grade (tests, essays, etc.)

Most CA students just take the AP Art History course because they get the AP credit, and it meets the “F” requirement. Out of State students are typically running around, end of junior year, or senior year, trying to figure out if they will be able to meet the requirement.

The UC’s are very competitive in most of the 9 campuses, so, she should expect large entry level classes (300-500 students in freshman courses is not unusual).
