Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
Six sections cover the statistics slot
PSY 161 F, its honors version PSY 161HF, SOSC 120 F, and STAT C1000, STAT C1000E and STAT C1000H all satisfy UC Davis's statistics requirement here. Pick by schedule, since each fills the same slot.
Honors runs through psychology, biology and research
PSYC C1000H, BIOL 101HF, ANTH 101HF and PSY 202HF each count the same as their standard versions. None is required, but all are accepted if you're already in an honors track.
PSY 202HF has three prerequisite routes
PSY 202HF lists PSYC C1000 alone, PSYC C1000H paired with PSY 161F, or PSY 161HF by itself as its prerequisite. Plan your intro psychology and statistics picks with that list in mind.
