You can find the courses required for your transfer major by
looking at www.assist.org.
Special Advising Note:
Transfer students are strongly advised to complete as many
preparatory courses as soon as possible for their major
before enrolling at UC San Diego. Preparing well for the
major helps students move efficiently toward graduation.
The B.A. program provides a broadly based education in the
natural sciences. It is a solid preparation for employment in
the technical fields as well as for teaching in secondary
schools. As a liberal arts degree rooted in analytical rigor
and intellectual curiosity, the Physics B.A. has also proven
to be one stepping stone toward further education and
careers in many diverse professions. (Students who wish to

pursue the Ph.D. in Physics should enroll in the B.S.
program.)
The B.S. program provides a basic foundation for students
to go on to graduate school in physics or related areas,
such as engineering and other physical sciences. It is at
the same time a solid preparation for gainful employment
in the technical fields.
