Five-semester calculus chain at El Camino
El Camino's math chain runs MATH 170, 180, 190, 191 and 220 in order, five semesters minimum. Begin it your first term; UC Davis wants the calculus series finished by the end of spring before fall enrollment.
El Camino semesters, UC Davis quarters
El Camino uses semesters, UC Davis uses quarters. Nothing you finish at El Camino has to be retaken for that reason; the change is that your Davis classes run about ten weeks each, three terms a year.

Watch Out
Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
Business law has no El Camino match
ASSIST lists no El Camino course for ARE 018. UC Davis asks for all major prep by the end of spring before you enroll, so contact a UC Davis advisor early about how this requirement applies to you.
Calculus runs a full five semesters
MATH 170 leads through MATH 180, 190, 191 and 220 at El Camino, five terms total. The calculus series is part of UC Davis's selective-major screening, so a late start is the biggest risk here.
Six El Camino courses satisfy statistics
BUS 116, COMS 180, PSYC 109A, SOCI 109A and two STAT C1000 variants all count toward UC Davis's statistics requirement, giving you real choice here.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Does El Camino ECON 102 transfer to UC Davis?
Yes. ECON 102 satisfies UC Davis's ECN 001A Microeconomics requirement, and ECON 101 (or its honors version) covers ECN 001B Macroeconomics, both matched at El Camino.
What classes does El Camino not cover for this major?
El Camino has no course matching UC Davis's business law requirement, ARE 018, and the ASSIST notes set the end of spring before fall enrollment as the deadline for all major prep. Calculus, statistics, accounting and communication all have El Camino matches.
What is UC Davis's admit rate for Managerial Economics?
UC Davis admitted 57% of all 2025 transfer applicants to Managerial Economics. It's a rate for the whole applicant pool, not El Camino applicants alone.
Is UC Davis Managerial Economics TAG eligible from El Camino?
Yes. El Camino students can use TAG for Managerial Economics with a 3.20 cumulative GPA. On top of that, the ECN 001A/B, calculus and STA 013 group needs a 2.00 GPA of its own, and no grade in it can be below a C.
