Review the major requirements in the General Catalog:
Meet all qualification course equivalents as a condition of Admission into the major.
Complete the recommended courses listed in the “Transfer Admission Screening Policy” section of the catalog for your intended Chemistry major of choice.
Keep an eye on your UCSC email inbox for important emails from chemistryadvising@ucsc.edu over the summer.
NOTE: Students who only complete the minimum major prep/major requirements will likely take more than two years to complete the Chemistry degree.
Chemistry & Biochemistry advising will email transfer students in the summer (usually early to mid July) with more information and recommended courses for fall - please check your UCSC email/spam folder for emails from chemistryadvising@ucsc.edu.
NOTE: The course recommendations below are generalized & based on completion of all recommended transfer course work (NOT just the minimum transfer coursework). Incoming transfer students will receive email advising from chemistryadvising@ucsc.edu over the summer regarding their personalized academic plan. Transfer students are encouraged to discuss that personalized academic plan directly with Chemistry & Biochemistry advising.
CHEM 163A: Quantum Mechanics and Basic Spectroscopy
PHYS 6C/N: Introductory Physics III
