UC Berkeley
Campus-Specific Admission /Graduation Requirements

    The College of Letters and Science is the largest, with more than half the campus’s faculty and nearly three-quarters
    of its undergraduate students.

    In FA 2007, 11,283 transfer student applied; 3,513 were admitted.  The fall Admit Rate = 31.1%.  85.4% of admitted

    Given the competitive nature of transfer admission for the College of Letters and Science, Berkeley requires full
    completion of the IGETC pattern of courses as selection criteria for admission into the College.  The best prepared
    candidate for admission will have IGETC completed by the end of spring term for fall admission. 

    Any student offered admission on the condition that they submit full IGETC certification but then submits a Partial
    IGETC Certification, could have their positive admission decision reversed.   
    Berkeley will consider students who cannot complete IGETC on a case by case basis. 

    The best counsel for College of Letters and Science applicants is to complete either the full IGETC pattern or the L&S
    Requirements by the end of the spring term.

   The Haas School of Business and the Colleges of Engineering, Environmental Design and Chemistry have extensive,
    prescribed major prerequisites.

   IGETC
    IGETC is acceptable for all majors in the College of Letters and Science, and it is highly recommended.

    In general, IGETC is not appropriate preparation for majors in these colleges. Although IGETC satisfies breadth
    requirements for most majors in the College of Natural Resources, specific lower division major requirements must
    still be satisfied; check with the college or visit the ASSIST website for more information.
