General Information

Below is some basic information, which the prospective undergraduate may find useful. In addition, please visit the HSSEAS Office of Academic and Student Affairs (www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/adm_ugrad.html) website for more detailed and up-to-date information. For course requirements and curriculum updates for C&EE majors, go to www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/curric.html.

Applicants to the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science must satisfy the general admission requirements for the University of California. Please see the UCLA General Catalog (www.registrar.ucla.edu/catalog/) for details, or the University of California Pathways (http://www.ucop.edu/pathways/appctr.html), which is the University of California's online undergraduate admission information and application network.

Applicants must select a major with the school when applying for admission. In the selection process, may elements are considered, including grades, test scores, and academic preparation.

Students must submit their applications during the November 1-30 filing period. In addition, it is essential that official test scores for the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) I -- or American College Test (ACT) -- and three SAT II: Subject Tests be received no later than the date in January when the December test scores are normally reported.

Fulfilling the admission requirements, however, does not assure admission to the school. Limits have had to be set for the enrollment of new undergraduate students. Thus, not every applicant who meets the minimum requirements can be admitted.

Although applicants may qualify for admission to HSSEAS in freshman standing, many students take their first two years in engineering at a community college and apply to the school at the junior level. Students who begin their college work at a California community college are expected to remain at the community college to complete the lower division requirements in chemistry, mathematics, physics, and the recommended engineering courses before transferring to the University.

California residents may obtain an application at their high schools or community colleges. From outside California, call +1.310.825.3101, or write to
