About the College’s Upper Division Unit Requirement:

As a UCLA student, you must fulfill requirements for the College of Letters and Science (e.g., General Education courses, Writing II, Foreign Language) as well as requirements for the MIMG department (e.g., those stated above).  One of the College of L&S requirements is the Upper Division Unit requirement.  This states that a student must complete 60 units of upper division credit which can be satisfied by taking those courses numbered 100 and above.  As a MIMG major, you are required to take (at least) 50 units of upper division credit.  This leaves a balance of 10 upper division units that you must take in order to satisfy the College of L&S requirement.  These 10 units can come from ANY upper division courses that you wish to take.  Please fell free to go outside of the sciences to make up these 10 units.  An upper division Musicology or History course can add a nice balance to the heavy science load that you will have in your Junior and Senior years.
