El Camino College to UCI
Nursing Science Transfer Plan
El Camino matches 9 of UCI's 11 Nursing Science prep requirements. Genetics (BIO SCI 97) and public health (PUBHLTH 1) have no El Camino course, and UCI requires both for admission with a B or better, so they must be done before you transfer.

Chemistry runs three semesters at El Camino
CHEM 4 must come before CHEM 1A, and CHEM 1A before CHEM 1B: three semesters minimum, so don't put off chemistry past your first term.
El Camino semesters, UCI quarters
UCI's chemistry year, CHEM 1A, CHEM 1B, CHEM 1C, runs three quarters, and El Camino's two semesters of CHEM 1A and CHEM 1B cover it. UCI's notes accept one quarter or one semester for each other subject.

Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
Genetics and public health: no match here
ASSIST lists no El Camino course for BIO SCI 97 or PUBHLTH 1. UCI's notes put both on the required-for-admission list, with a B or better, so neither can wait until after you transfer.
One combo covers two requirements at once
ASSIST lists the APHY 34A and APHY 34B pair for both UCI's physiology requirement and its anatomy requirement, so that two-course sequence does double duty if you'd rather not take PHYO 31 and ANAT 32 separately.
CHEM 4 starts a three-semester chain
CHEM 4 leads to CHEM 1A, which leads to CHEM 1B, so enrolling in CHEM 4 right away keeps the three-semester chemistry sequence from pushing biology back.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What does El Camino cover for UCI Nursing Science?
El Camino matches 9 of UCI's 11 prep requirements, including BIOL 110 for foundational biology, the CHEM 1A, CHEM 1B chemistry sequence, and PHIL 103 for ethics. Genetics and public health are the two gaps.
Does El Camino offer a genetics class for UCI nursing?
No. ASSIST shows no El Camino match for BIO SCI 97, and UCI lists genetics as required for admission with a B or better. It has to be finished before you transfer, not at UCI.
Is there an El Camino class for UCI's public health requirement?
No. PUBHLTH 1 has no El Camino equivalent either, and public health is also on UCI's required-for-admission list, so it has to be done before you enroll at UCI.
Which El Camino courses cover UCI's physiology and anatomy requirements?
PHYO 31 alone satisfies physiology, and ANAT 32 alone satisfies anatomy, or you can take APHY 34A and APHY 34B together to cover both requirements in one two-course sequence.

El Camino College students headed for UC Irvine's Nursing Science, B.S. program match 9 of UCI's 11 prep requirements, including BIOL 110 for foundational biology and the CHEM 1A, CHEM 1B chemistry sequence. Genetics, BIO SCI 97, and public health, PUBHLTH 1, have no El Camino course, yet UCI requires both for admission with a B or better. Physiology and anatomy can be covered separately, PHYO 31 and ANAT 32, or through APHY 34A and APHY 34B. Transfermatic maps this El Camino-to-UCI Nursing Science route so both gaps and the chemistry chain are visible before you plan your terms.
