Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
Honors sections cover the same requirements
ECON 2H, MATH 1AH and ACCT 1AH all satisfy the same UC Davis requirements as their standard De Anza versions, so honors students lose nothing by taking the harder track.
Statistics has six accepted De Anza courses
MATH 17, POLI 20, PSYC 15, SOC 15, STAT C1000 and STAT C1000H all count for STA 013. PSYC 15 and SOC 15 need PSYC C1000 or SOC 1 first, so STAT C1000 is the most direct pick.
The calculus chain runs five quarters
MATH D043H, then MATH 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D is a five-quarter sequence at De Anza. UC Davis screens this major on the calculus series, so start math in your first quarter.
