Admission reality
The University of California publishes major-level transfer admission data for UC Santa Barbara. Cherrypicker has not imported it yet, so nothing is shown here rather than an approximation.
Cherrypicker does not estimate anyone’s chance of admission, and never will. Historical outcomes are context, not a prediction.
Planning reality
Counts over the courses ASSIST maps for this pathway. Every figure is a plain count with one definition — there is no score or ranking here.

Not scheduled at De Anza College this term: BIOL 6C, BIOL 6CH, MATH 1BH, MATH 1CH, MATH 2BH, MATH 2AH, MATH 1AH, MATH 17, POLI 20, STAT C1000H, CHEM 1AH, CHEM 1BH, CHEM 1CH, PHYS 2C. A course can still be part of the requirement and offered in a later quarter.
Enrollment availability changes frequently. Confirm status in the official FHDA registration system before enrolling.
Where this path usually starts
Ranked by how central each course is to the agreement — whether it is the only option for a requirement, how many requirements it covers, and whether it is running now. This is Cherrypicker’s ordering of published requirements, not advice about your situation, and it does not know your transcript.
Things to watch
Derived from this agreement and the current class data — not generic advice.
2 courses have only one open section
MATH 23, PHYS 2B currently have a single section with seats reported at De Anza.
1 mapped course with no open seats
BIOL 6AH is full or waitlisted at De Anza right now. Check the other FHDA college below, and confirm before you plan around it.

Agreement year 2025-26, captured from ASSIST. Verify against the official agreement and confirm with a counselor before making transfer decisions.
The other FHDA college
Foothill College has its own ASSIST agreement for this major. It is a separate agreement with its own courses and its own source — not an extension of the De Anza College one, and the two are never combined on this page.
Whether a course taken at one college satisfies the other college’s requirements is a separate question from articulation. Confirm with a counselor before relying on it.

Common questions
Which De Anza College classes count toward UC Santa Barbara Earth Science, B.S. - Geobiology and Paleobiology Emphasis?
ASSIST's 2025-26 agreement maps 17 UC Santa Barbara requirements to De Anza College coursework. The full list, including every alternative, is in the major preparation section above.
Does this page guarantee my courses will transfer?
No. It shows what the published ASSIST agreement between De Anza College and University of California, Santa Barbara says for 2025-26. Agreements change by catalog year, and your own record can differ. Confirm with a counselor and with the official agreement before you rely on it.
Can I take these courses at Foothill instead?
Sometimes — but it is a separate question with a separate answer. The other college has its own ASSIST agreement for this major, with its own courses and its own source, linked in the section above. Cherrypicker never merges the two.
How current is the class availability on this page?
Section and seat information reflects the district's published Winter 2027 class data, refreshed roughly every 15 minutes, and the page carries the exact time it was last updated. Always confirm in the official registration system before enrolling.
Spot something wrong?
Articulation, prerequisites, course details and class availability all come from sources that change. If something here does not match the official record, tell us and we will fix it — corrections from students and staff are the fastest way this stays accurate.
Make this path yours
Cherrypicker can apply your completed coursework, transfer target and schedule preferences to build a quarter-by-quarter plan around these requirements.
