Topical courses (T code)—three courses required (15 credits)

Students entering UCSC with fewer than 45
transferable credits must take three topical courses in residence at UCSC. UCSC Summer Session courses can be used to satisfy topical requirements.
Choose one course from each academic area: natural sciences (2), social sciences (3), and humanities and arts (4). Courses labeled 5, 6, and 7 satisfy topical requirements in two different academic areas; students can apply this kind of topical course to either academic area indicated. The three topical course requirements must be satisfied with three different courses. In the Schedule of Classes, courses that carry a T general education code are listed as follows:

2-Natural Sciences Area
3-Social Sciences Area
4-Humanities and Arts Area
5-Humanities and Arts or Social Sciences Area
6-Natural Sciences or Humanities and Arts Area
7-Natural Sciences or Social Sciences Area
