Residency Requirements
Majors: A student must complete at least 18 units of upper-division credit for the major in residence at UC Davis. This means that up to 22 units may be taken elsewhere, including on an approved study abroad program. If a student completes less than 18 units of upper-division course work for the major at UC Davis, s/he may request a waiver of the major residence requirement from the College of Letters and Sciences if the department chair will support the waiver.
There is no residence requirement for the minor.
