Getting Started in Theater Arts: 2023-2024 Entering Transfers
🔙
Students are admitted to UC Santa Cruz with a "proposed major" in most cases, and later petition to officially declare the major. Admission does not guarantee acceptance into a particular major, although transfer students' records are screened for preparation for many majors at the time of admission. Junior transfer students must be formally declared by the deadline in their second quarter of enrollment.
|
Qualification requirements and/or prerequisites for the major: |
Transfer students are eligible to declare as early as their first quarter even if they have not completed any theater arts courses prior to transferring to UC Santa Cruz. Transfer students entering as juniors are required by the university to declare a major no later than the major declaration deadline in their second quarter on campus and are encouraged to do so as soon as possible. Review Transfer Major Qualification Requirements in the General Catalog for details. |

Courses in many other departments can inform theater work (art, music, art history, film, history, literature, etc.). The suggested course load is two major classes per quarter plus a third 5-unit class (the standard unit load is 15, and the minimum is 12 units); if students do not have additional general education requirements to satisfy, they can utilize the third course each quarter to pursue other interests. |
|
Other Information: |
After making an academic plan with the department advisor, transfer students should declare the major during their first quarter on campus and are required by the university to declare by their second quarter. Students are encouraged to update the academic plan quarterly, together with their major advisor, prior to the start of enrollment for each quarter. Advising Week (quarterly dates listed in the Academic and Administrative Calendar) is an ideal time to meet with advisors. This department offers advising appointments through Navigate Slug Success. |
