Students who wish to receive credit for prior lower division college work should email a copy of their unofficial transcript to philadvi@ucsc.edu. Generally, equivalent introductory courses taken elsewhere are accepted in substitution for UCSC philosophy introductory courses (except for Introduction to Logic, which must be taken at UCSC). Upper-division courses taken at four-year universities may be transferred by petition.
For upper-division petitions, please submit a class syllabus and/or reading list, which will be reviewed by the Undergraduate Program Director.
Review the General Catalog.
