Fullerton College to UCI
Computer Science Transfer Plan
Fullerton College's CSCI 133 F and CSCI 123 F together match UC Irvine's entire I&C SCI 31 through 33 programming sequence, and MATH 151 F and MATH 152 F handle calculus. For the one extra approved course, MATH 170 F or MATH 171 F matches either I&C SCI 6B or I&C SCI 6D.

Honors calculus is a three-term chain
MATH 141F, then MATH 151HF, then MATH 152HF: that's three semesters minimum for Fullerton's honors calculus path. Enroll in math your first term to stay on that timeline.
Fullerton semesters, UCI quarters
UCI treats two semesters of calculus the same as two quarters, so MATH 151 F and MATH 152 F are enough. UCI also wants an articulated sequence finished at one college, so keep both CSCI courses at Fullerton.

Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
Two Fullerton courses cover three UCI courses
CSCI 133 F and CSCI 123 F together match I&C SCI 31, 32 and 33, UCI's full programming sequence. Take both at Fullerton so you arrive with the complete year already done.
One math course fills the extra slot
MATH 170 F or MATH 171 F matches both I&C SCI 6B, Boolean logic, and I&C SCI 6D, discrete math for computer science. Either single course fills UCI's extra approved course requirement, though UCI counts a course only once.
The honors calculus track is 3 terms
MATH 141F leads into MATH 151HF, then MATH 152HF, the honors second course. That's three semesters minimum, so start calculus your first term if you plan to finish it at Fullerton.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What Fullerton classes do I need for UCI computer science?
CSCI 133 F and CSCI 123 F for programming, MATH 151 F and MATH 152 F for calculus, and MATH 170 F or MATH 171 F as the extra approved course. Every required course needs a B or better.
What does Fullerton not cover for UCI computer science?
Nothing required for admission. Fullerton matches the full programming sequence, both calculus courses, and has a match ready for the extra approved course and for linear algebra.
Is UCI computer science TAG eligible?
No. UCI's screening notes rule out TAG for every major in the Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences. You're admitted on finished coursework and a 3.0 minimum GPA instead.
Does Fullerton CSCI 123 F count toward UCI computer science?
Yes, together with CSCI 133 F. ASSIST matches the pair to I&C SCI 31, 32 and 33, UCI's full first-year programming sequence. CSCI 123 F by itself doesn't clear that requirement.

Related Transfer Plans
Fullerton College students headed toward the Computer Science B.S. at UC Irvine can clear the full admission core on campus. CSCI 133 F and CSCI 123 F together match UCI's I&C SCI 31 through 33 sequence, MATH 151 F and MATH 152 F cover calculus, and MATH 170 F or MATH 171 F fills the extra approved course in discrete math or Boolean logic. UCI requires a 3.0 GPA and a B or better in every course, and this major does not participate in TAG. Transfermatic sequences these Fullerton courses around UCI's calculus chain.
