Students must satisfactorily complete for credit a minimum of 180 units for the bachelor’s degree. At least 60 of the 180 units must be upper-division courses numbered 100 through 199. A maximum of 216 units is permitted. Advanced Placement Examination and International Baccalaureate Examination (transfer) credits are not counted toward the unit maximum.
Students must earn at least a 2.0 (C) grade-point average (GPA) in all courses undertaken at UCLA to receive a bachelor’s degree. Students must earn a cumulative 2.0 GPA as well as a 2.0 GPA in preparation for the major and the major.
Thirty-five of the final 45 units completed for the bachelor’s degree must be earned while in residence at the school.
Students enrolled in the Education Abroad Program (EAP) must satisfy the residence requirement by earning 35 of their final 90 units in residence at the school.
The diversity requirement may be satisfied by completing one course from the faculty-approved list of courses. The course must be taken for a letter grade, and students must receive a C or better grade (a C− grade is not acceptable). Applicable courses may also fulfill major, minor, or elective requirements and, if approved for general education (GE) credit, may fulfill a GE requirement. A list of approved courses is available in the Schedule of Classes.
