Statistics Transfer Student Support

Students in the Transfer Center

Welcome to Berkeley Statistics, New Transfer Students!

Whether you are just beginning your transfer journey at community college or are in your first semester at UC Berkeley, we are here to help. Find resources and information below.

 

 

Undergraduate Transfer Admissions to UC Berkeley is handled through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Prospective UC Berkeley transfer students interested in majoring in Statistics will need to apply for the Statistics major through the College of Computing, Data Science, and Society. California Community College students should refer to Assist.org to determine which equivalent courses should be taken at their community college to help them be best prepared academically when they apply to UC Berkeley. 

Congratulations, Fall 2024 Transfer Admits! 

Fall 2024 Transfer Students Admitted to Statistics

Transfer students admitted to Statistics in the Fall 2024 semester are already declared and will need to meet the lower division and upper division requirements to complete the Statistics major. The major consists of five lower division and nine upper division courses. The CDSS college requirements are still under review and will be finalized soon. Please refer to the sample plans that are on the “transfer sample program plans” tab to get a better idea of when to take your major coursework

Fall 2024 Transfer Students Admitted to Another Major and Interested in Declaring Statistics

Students who were not admitted to the Statistics major and are interested in switching to Statistics or adding Statistics as a second major will need to apply for the major through the Change in College or Simultaneous Degree Application process which will involve a comprehensive review. The details and procedure of the comprehensive review process are still being determined and should be announced in Summer 2024. Please check the CDSS FAQ page this summer for any updates. We expect the Statistics major to be fairly open and encourage students interested in the major to connect with us by filling out thisFall 2024 Transfer Student Information Request Form

Determining if Transfer Course Work Satisfy Major/Minor Requirements

Math Prerequisites
Statistics Courses
  • AP Statistics Credit: a 3 or higher on the AP Statistics Exam may waive a student out of Stat 2. Stat 2 does not satisfy a Statistics major prerequisite. Students should check with their intended major department to see if AP credit is accepted for the major.
  • California Community College courses: refer to Assist.org
  • College Course Work at other 4-Year Institutions or Out-of-State Community Colleges: Submit a Request for an Evaluation of a non-UC Berkeley Statistics Course.
Potential Upper Division Cluster Courses Taken Elsewhere (for the Statistics Major) 
  • Declared students: Submit Update My Major form. Include course syllabus and description along with the list your other cluster courses.
  • Pre-majors: Submit Undergraduate Advising Questions form with course syllabus and description along with along the list your other cluster courses you are proposing to use with the course(s) taken elsewhere.
