Current Transfer Student Information

There were many changes to the Economics program in Fall Quarter 2007. Depending on when you entered UC San Diego, your major requirements may not be in the current campus General Catalog. Instead, you can find your major requirements on our website.

Transfer students entering UC San Diego in Fall Quarter 2009 and beyond will be held to the new requirements.
