UCLA Physics Courses

You are looking at Summer Session A 2026. That term is over, so these are last term's numbers rather than seats you can take. dibs holds 246 sections for Summer Session A 2026, read 30 days ago. Separately, it has finished 400 of the 3,572 courses on its current checking list for this term. Future-term coverage is incomplete, so a course with nothing here may simply not have been reached yet. Back to Fall 2026
