Watch Out
Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
Fullerton's course codes carry an F suffix
Fullerton lists its transferable sections as ECON 101 F, ECON 102 F and MATH 151 F rather than plain numbers. Search ASSIST for the F versions specifically, since that's what maps to Berkeley's requirements.
Honors calculus has three entry routes
MATH 151HF, the honors path, opens after MATH 141F, after MATH 141HF, or after both MATH 143F and MATH 142F. MATH 152HF then needs MATH 151F or MATH 151HF.
Statistics stays unmatched, and that's fine
Berkeley strongly recommends STAT 20 or STAT 21 for the major, but Fullerton has no equivalent for either in ASSIST. Since neither is required, it doesn't affect your admission eligibility.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What classes do I need at Fullerton for UC Berkeley Economics?
ECON 101 F, ECON 102 F, MATH 151 F and MATH 152 F, or their honors equivalents. Those cover the full required list. You'll also need ENGL C1000 and the rest of the UC 7-course pattern done by the end of spring before fall enrollment.
Does Fullerton MATH 151 F transfer to Berkeley Economics?
Yes. MATH 151 F, or the honors MATH 151HF, matches Berkeley's MATH 51 and MATH 16A. Berkeley wants a second calculus course on top of it, so follow it with MATH 152 F or MATH 152HF.
What isn't covered at Fullerton for Berkeley econ?
Every required course has a Fullerton match. The only gap is STAT 20 and STAT 21, both recommended rather than required, so nothing that affects eligibility is missing.
What's the transfer admit rate for UC Berkeley Economics?
Only 14% made it in: that's Berkeley's 2025 admit rate for Economics transfers, spanning every college that applied, Fullerton among them. A 3.0 GPA by fall's end is also required.
