Transfer Requirements

 

Preparation for the Majors

 

Articulation agreements between California Community Colleges and UCLA for majors in the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science (HSSEAS) can be found at ASSIST. A general description of the requirements appears below, for schools with which there is no articulation agreement.

Applicants should complete ALL the required preparatory courses. Applicants who are lacking 2 or more of these courses are unlikely to be admitted.

Students are encouraged to take additional engineering courses if these courses are available, and thus satisfy requirements for the major to which they are applying.

Applicants are not required to complete the HSSEAS General Education Requirement in order to be admitted, although it is beneficial for students to complete 1 course from each of the following areas: arts, humanities, social sciences, and life sciences. While IGETC Certification is not recognized by HSSEAS, students may reference the IGETC courselist to make their course selections. At least one course from the arts, humanities or social sciences is required for UC eligibility.

 

REQUIRED Preparation for HSSEAS Majors

Mathematics

  • Calculus I and II
  • Calculus III (multivariable)
  • Differential Equations
  • Linear Algebra

Calculus based Physics courses in the following areas:

  • Mechanics
  • Electricity & Magnetism
  • Waves, Sound, Heat, Optics and Modern Physics

Chemistry

  • 2 terms of General Chemistry

  • Exception: Computer Science, Computer Science and Engineering, and Electrical Engineering majors require only one term of Chemistry.

Computer Programming

  • Either Java, C Programming or C++
  • Applicants to Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or Computer Science and Engineering should take C++

Biology

  • Applicants to Bioengineering should take a year of Biology for the major

English Composition courses

  • One course equivalent to UCLA's Engcomp 3 and a second transferable English composition course

At least one course from the arts, humanities or social sciences is required for UC eligibility
