Students who wish to transfer from another institution to UCSD as cognitive science majors should work closely with university advisors to ensure that all lower-division requirements have been completed and are equivalent to those offered at UCSD. It is recommended that prospective transfer students complete courses that are equivalent to the following UCSD lower-division courses at their home institutions prior to transfering (Articulation agreements between UCSD and other colleges can be found on the ASSIST website.)

Transferring from one academic institution to another can be both confusing and exciting, particularly transferring from a semester system to a quarter system. Your college advisors can assist you with questions regarding university/general education requirements. Your departmental major advisors can assist you with questions regarding major requirements.
