I am currently attending a community college in San Diego working through the lower-division physics and mathematics courses. I have a transfer contract with UCSD, which means after I have attained 64-credits, I will transfer into their university. I am working independently on my physics and maths using several different texts and constructing binders filled with detailed notes, related to specific courses. I am working really hard so that I can hopefully be considered a top math and physics student once I transfer (although, I have no idea what the competition is like once I transfer -- it's extremely poor at the cc level).
I have looked through UCSD's physics major but I am still not sure what I should be working towards. I have an interest in theoretical high energy quantum physics (although my knowledge of it is completely basic and vague) but I have a passion and desire for mathematically heavy theoretical physics. I can't seem to find a 'specialization' that describes the style of physics that I want to do so if anyone is willing to take a few minutes and look through this course outline and possibly give me some advice, that would be tight.
I had considered possibly majoring in computational physics to ensure employment security if I can't find a solid post-doc position (assuming I am retained through graduate school after undergrad) and then doing theoretical high energy in graduate school.
Here is the link to the course outline:

Any other advice regarding my questions or corrections about any misunderstands that I may have, would also be appreciated.
Peace homies!
