Psychology*

To be considered for this major, all of the preparatory courses listed here must be completed by the spring before transfer.

One course in each of the following:

• introductory psychology 
• physical anthropology 
• intraductory biology 
• introductory physics  
• introductory chemistry (or one year of high school chemistry with grades of C or better)
• introductory philosophy 
• one quantitative reasoning course in statistics, finite mathematics, calculus, computer science theory, or programming in C++. (Statistics is strongly recommended as preparation for upper division work.)

*Demand for this major significantly exceeds space available. You must be admitted directly into this major; you will not be able to change to this major after admission to UCLA. Students are classified as pre-psychology until they complete the preparation courses.
