Fullerton College to UC Davis
Economics Transfer Plan
Fullerton College matches all five UC Davis Economics prep courses on the current agreement, with ECON 101 F, ECON 102 F, MATH 151 F, MATH 152 F and a statistics course. Students starting fall 2027 must complete the whole MAT 019A/B/C series, and this agreement maps Fullerton's calculus only to MAT 021A and MAT 021B.

Fullerton runs semesters, UC Davis runs quarters
Fullerton's calculus courses are semester length, while MAT 021A and MAT 021B are UC Davis quarter courses. For planning, go by Fullerton's calendar: every prep course has to be finished by the end of your last spring semester.

Watch Out
Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
MATH 152 F has no honors alternative
MATH 151 F pairs with an honors option, MATH 151HF, but MATH 152 F does not. Plan on the regular section for your second calculus course regardless of how you took the first.
Six courses can satisfy statistics
PSY 161 F, PSY 161HF, SOSC 120 F, STAT C1000, STAT C1000E and STAT C1000H each count for STA 013 on their own. You need only one.
Fall 2027 changes the calculus rule
MATH 151 F and MATH 152 F match MAT 021A and MAT 021B on this agreement. UC Davis's notes say Fullerton students starting there in fall 2027 need the whole MAT 019A/B/C series, so ask a UC Davis advisor which courses count.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What classes should I take at Fullerton for UC Davis Economics?
Take ECON 101 F and ECON 102 F for the principles pair, MATH 151 F and MATH 152 F for calculus, and a statistics course such as STAT C1000. That covers the current agreement. If you start at UC Davis in fall 2027, confirm calculus first, because the full MAT 019A/B/C series becomes required.
Does Fullerton MATH 151HF transfer the same as MATH 151 F?
Yes. MATH 151HF, the honors version, satisfies UC Davis's MAT 021A requirement exactly like the regular MATH 151 F section.
What UC Davis Economics prep does Fullerton not cover?
On today's agreement, nothing: every requirement group has a Fullerton match. The gap to watch is calculus for fall 2027 starters, who must finish the whole MAT 019A/B/C series; this agreement names no Fullerton course for it. UC Davis wants the prep finished by the spring term before fall enrollment.
What's the admit rate for UC Davis Economics transfers?
UC Davis admitted 75% of all transfer applicants to the Economics major in 2025. It's one number for every applicant, not a figure for Fullerton College students.

Related Transfer Plans
Fullerton College matches every line of UC Davis's current Economics, A.B. agreement: ECON 101 F and ECON 102 F for principles, MATH 151 F and MATH 152 F for MAT 021A and MAT 021B, and courses like STAT C1000 for statistics. Honors versions exist for the economics courses and MATH 151 F, but not for MATH 152 F. The bigger planning point is UC Davis's note that students starting fall 2027 must complete the whole MAT 019A/B/C series, which this agreement doesn't map to Fullerton courses.
