Transfer Student Entry into Pre-Bioengineering: Premedical
Students applying for the Bioengineering: Premedical major are initially identified as "pre-majors", and will be admitted into Pre-Bioengineering: Premedical based on academic performance in ten prerequisite courses. It is expected that students will have completed or have in progress all ten prerequisite courses when applying to UCSD. Students are required to achieve a GPA of 3.0 or better in the ten prerequisite pre-major courses (MATH 20A-B-C; PHYSICS 2A-2B; CHEM 6A; MAE 9 or 10, and three other courses required by the major) by the end of the third quarter of study at UCSD. Note: Two of the prerequisite courses must be taken at UCSD, one of which must be an upper-division (100 series) course. Students need to contact the Student Affairs Office at the end of their third quarter at UCSD to check on their status and complete an Undergraduate Change of Major Request form.
