Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
Six courses satisfy the stats slot
MATH 17, POLI 20, PSYC 15, SOC 15, STAT C1000 and STAT C1000H all count for UC Davis's statistics requirement at De Anza. Pick whichever fits your other classes best.
Check PSYC 2's prerequisite before registering
PSYC 2 lists STAT C1000H, or PSYC C1000 together with PSYC 15, SOC 15 and STAT C1000, as its prerequisite. Either way statistics comes first, so schedule PSYC 2 after your stats course.
PSYC 15 and SOC 15 need a prerequisite
Both statistics options require PSYC C1000 or SOC 1 completed beforehand. If you're taking PSYC C1000 for the psychology requirement anyway, either stats course opens up right after.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What classes should I take at De Anza for UC Davis Psychology?
PSYC C1000; one of six statistics courses, such as MATH 17 or STAT C1000; BIOL 10 or BIOL 10H plus ANTH 1 or ANTH 1H for biology; and PSYC 2 for research methods. That combination clears every requirement.
Does De Anza STAT C1000H transfer to UC Davis?
Yes, STAT C1000H satisfies UC Davis's statistics requirement the same as the non-honors STAT C1000. It also clears the PSYC 2 prerequisite by itself, without needing PSYC 15 or SOC 15 first.
What UC Davis Psychology prep does De Anza not cover?
None of it. De Anza has a matching course for every one of the five requirement slots, with honors versions available for both biology courses and for one statistics option.
What's the admit rate for UC Davis Psychology transfers?
UC Davis admitted 70% of transfer applicants to Psychology in 2025, a figure for all applicants across every community college, not De Anza students alone.
