Note: UC Credit for variable topics courses in this discipline is given only after
a review of the scope and content of the course by the enrolling UC campus. This
usually occurs after transfer and may require recommendations from faculty.
Information about internships may also be presented for review, but credit for
internships rarely transfers to UC.
