Managerial Economics Transfer Plan
Fullerton covers nine of UC Davis's ten Managerial Economics requirements, including honors economics and a calculus track through MATH 251 F. Business law (ARE 018) has no Fullerton match, and UC Davis expects all major prep done by the end of spring before you enroll.

Managerial EconomicsUC Davis TAG for Fullerton students
Fullerton students applying through TAG need two numbers: a 3.20 cumulative GPA, and a 2.00 GPA in the ECN 001A/B, calculus and statistics courses. Any grade below C in that group rules out the guarantee.

Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
Business law has no Fullerton match
No Fullerton course matches ARE 018 on this agreement. The ASSIST notes say all major prep is due by the end of spring before fall enrollment, so raise this gap with a UC Davis advisor well before you apply.
Six Fullerton courses satisfy statistics
PSY 161 F, PSY 161HF, SOSC 120 F and three STAT C1000 variants all count toward UC Davis's statistics requirement. You need only one, so pick the section that fits your schedule.
Calculus moves fast at Fullerton
MATH 151 F leads directly into MATH 152 F and MATH 251 F, and the honors track, MATH 151HF, satisfies the same requirement as the standard section.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Fullerton ECON 101 F transfer to UC Davis?
Yes. ECON 101 F satisfies UC Davis's ECN 001A Microeconomics requirement, and ECON 102 F covers ECN 001B Macroeconomics, so both required economics courses are matched at Fullerton.
What classes does Fullerton not cover for this major?
Fullerton has no course matching ARE 018, UC Davis's business law requirement. UC Davis wants all major prep finished by the end of spring before fall enrollment, so check with a UC Davis advisor about it. Calculus, statistics, accounting and communication all have Fullerton matches.
What is UC Davis's admit rate for Managerial Economics?
57%. That's UC Davis's 2025 admit rate for all transfer applicants to Managerial Economics, not a Fullerton-only figure.
Is UC Davis Managerial Economics TAG eligible from Fullerton?
Yes, Managerial Economics is TAG-eligible. The bar is a 3.20 cumulative GPA at TAG submission and, separately, a 2.00 GPA across economics, the calculus series and statistics, with every grade in that group a C or better.
