Articulation Agreement by Major
Effective during the 16-17 Academic Year
To: UCLA |From: El Camino College
Quarter| Semester
================================================================================

====Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology/B.S.====

Listed below are the lower division preparation courses for the major. All
courses must be taken for a letter grade. THIS MAJOR IS HIGHLY SELECTIVE; a
significant number of preparatory courses should be completed prior to transfer.
At minimum, you should complete one year of biology with laboratory, one year of
general chemistry with laboratory, one year of calculus and one semester of
organic chemistry with laboratory. Completion of a second semester of organic
chemistry or one year of calculus-based physics is strongly recommended. For
more information regarding this major and UCLA's transfer selection process,
visit www.mcdb.ucla.edu and www.admissions.ucla.edu .

NOTE
_____: If your college does not offer a two semester sequence in calculus-based
physics, it is recommended that you complete Physics 6ABC at UCLA after you
transfer.

PLEASE NOTE: The community college courses listed below have been approved to
satisfy the preparation requirements for this major at UCLA, but they
____ not be exact equivalents of the UCLA courses listed.
