El Camino College to UCI
Business Administration Transfer Plan
El Camino matches every one of UC Irvine's eight Business Administration requirements, calculus through accounting. Plan economics in order: ECON 102 (micro) requires ECON 101 or ECON 101H (macro) first, so you'll finish UCI's ECON 20B before ECON 20A.

Calculus starts two courses early
MATH 170, then MATH 180, then MATH 190, then MATH 191: four semesters minimum if you're not ready for MATH 190 yet. Start this chain your first term so calculus is done by spring.
El Camino runs semesters, UCI runs quarters
Every El Camino course on this list still lines up with one UCI course, so BUS 150 becomes MGMT 30A. Expect your semester units to convert to roughly 1.5 quarter units apiece.

Watch Out
Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
Take macro before micro here
El Camino requires ECON 101 or ECON 101H before ECON 102, so you'll finish UCI's ECON 20B before ECON 20A. Put macro in an early term so micro still fits before spring.
Honors ECON 101H counts the same
ECON 101H, the honors macro course, satisfies ECON 20B exactly like ECON 101 does, and it also clears the prerequisite for ECON 102. STAT C1000H works the same way for MGMT 7.
BUS 101 can wait until after transfer
BUS 101 matches UCI's MGMT 1, but ASSIST notes that MGMT 1 may be completed at UCI itself. Finish calculus, economics, statistics and accounting first.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What classes should I take at El Camino for UCI Business Administration?
MATH 190 and MATH 191 for calculus, ECON 101 then ECON 102 for economics, one statistics course such as STAT C1000, and BUS 150 then BUS 151 for accounting. BUS 101 can come after transfer.
Is anything for UCI Business Administration not covered at El Camino?
El Camino has no gap here. Every one of UCI's eight prep courses maps to a course on this campus, and PSYC 109A gives a second route to the statistics requirement.
Does El Camino ECON 102 transfer to UCI?
Yes, ECON 102 transfers as ECON 20A, UCI's microeconomics requirement. El Camino makes you take ECON 101 or ECON 101H first, so budget macro before micro.
Can El Camino students use TAG for UCI Business Administration?
TAG isn't available for this major at UCI for fall 2027, and the floor for consideration is a 3.0 transferable GPA with preference going to the strongest overall grades.

Related Transfer Plans
El Camino College has an ASSIST match for every UC Irvine Business Administration prep course. MATH 190 and MATH 191 cover calculus, ECON 101 and ECON 102 cover economics with macro first, one of three statistics options covers MGMT 7, and BUS 150 then BUS 151 cover accounting. Students who aren't ready for MATH 190 should start at MATH 170, since that chain runs four semesters. This major doesn't take TAG applicants for fall 2027, so a strong transcript matters most. Transfermatic can lay this course list out term by term for you.
