Can I change majors after I arrive?
If you are a first year admit, you may explore and change majors, as long as you meet eligibility requirements and can graduate within 4 years. Be sure to check with the major department for eligibility as some majors have application processes and deadlines. Transfer students are admitted based on the major applied to, so changing majors may be possible if the major is not impacted and you can complete all degree requirements in a timely fashion (by the Fall of your third year). Please note that some majors are restricted and you must have been admitted to UCLA in that major to be eligible, so not all majors will be open to transfer students.
What majors does UCLA offer?
UCLA has over 125 majors and over 90 minors! If you’re not sure what major would fit, check out our Find Your Major assessment tool.
Will I get into medical school if I attend UCLA?
As the #1 public university in the nation, UCLA graduates are highly competitive for medical schools. Check out the UCLA pre-health website .
I want to double major – how do I do this?
Students should carefully consider why they want to double major and what this would accomplish. Otherwise, they should consider other activities that may be more meaningful on a graduate/professional school application or resume, such as internships, studying abroad, research, etc. Meeting with an academic advisor could help clarify these options.
What study abroad options are available to me?
There are different programs available, including the UC Education Abroad Program (UCEAP) or Summer Travel programs. Students can also choose from non-UC programs, and should be sure to consult with the International Education Office to help select the option that would best fit their needs.
Can I meet with an academic advisor now?
Unfortunately, we are not able to support non-UCLA students. Once you have matriculated, we will be happy to help you navigate UCLA!
