Transfer Guide

Students walk between classes in Wheeler Hall

Welcome to the Arts & Humanities Division! On this page, you can find quick links to get you started in your A&H journey at Berkeley.

As a transfer student, you will find a particularly welcoming home in our division. Around half of our majors are transfers, which means we understand you and your needs better than most. We even offer courses specifically designed to provide new transfer students with the tools necessary to succeed in upper-division coursework in the humanities, Rhetoric 100: Transfer Writing Studio (Summer) and HUM 100: Transfer Foundations (Fall).

Are you a first-year student? Check out our First-Year Guide.
