Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
2 UCLA requirements have no CCSF match
CCSF lists no course for ECON 11 and ECON 41. Check UCLA's Business Economics page for whether they have to be done before you transfer, and plan where you'll cover them.
Start with ECON 3 and ACCT 1
ECON 3 and ACCT 1 sit at the start of their sequences for this route, so they fit your first semester, next to ENGL C1000 for English composition.
ACCT 1 starts a 2-semester chain
ACCT 1, then ACCT 2 each need the one before, so the chain takes 2 semesters at minimum. Begin ACCT 1 early.
