Las Positas College to UC Davis
Psychology Transfer Plan
Las Positas matches every UC Davis Psychology requirement, though STAT C1000 is the sole accepted statistics course here. PSYC 25, the research methods class, needs both PSYC C1000 and STAT C1000 finished before you can enroll.

Las Positas semesters, UC Davis quarters

Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
STAT C1000 is the only statistics option
Las Positas has just one accepted course for UC Davis's statistics requirement. Register for it early, since there's no alternate to fall back on and PSYC 25 also depends on it.
PSYC 25 needs both intro courses done
PSYC 25 requires PSYC C1000 and STAT C1000 both completed first, not just one. Line them up across two terms before planning on research methods.
Biology has two accepted first courses
BIO 10 or BIO 30 both satisfy UC Davis's BIS 010 slot, then ANTR 1 covers the anthropology half. Either biology option pairs the same way with ANTR 1.
