The UC Irvine Preparation Program at UBridge@IVC is designed to support academically gifted students in transferring to this excellent university.
Students study for two years and then apply for a UC TAG to Irvine. The UC TAG requires GPA and credit hour minimums as well as taking specific courses required to achieve guaranteed transfer with third-year status. Your personal UBridge advisor will guide you through the entire process, helping ensure you are prepared and meet the complex requirements of the UC TAG.
