Fullerton College to UCI
Nursing Science Transfer Plan
Fullerton covers 10 of UCI's 11 Nursing Science prep requirements. The one miss is PUBHLTH 1, public health, which has no Fullerton match even though UCI requires it for admission with a B or better.

Chemistry runs three semesters first
CHEM 107F leads to CHEM 111AF, then CHEM 111BF: three semesters minimum if chemistry starts at CHEM 107F, so register for it your first term at Fullerton.
Fullerton semesters become UCI quarters
UCI spreads CHEM 1A, CHEM 1B, CHEM 1C over three quarters; Fullerton covers the same year with two semesters, CHEM 111AF and CHEM 111BF. For every other subject, UCI's admission notes accept one quarter or semester.

Watch Out
Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
Public health has no Fullerton equivalent
PUBHLTH 1 is the one required course with no Fullerton match. UCI's notes list public health among the courses required for admission, so it can't be left for after you transfer.
Genetics offers two Fullerton options
BIOL 109 F or BIOL 276 F both satisfy UCI's BIO SCI 97 genetics requirement at Fullerton, so a lower unit-count course works just as well as the four-unit alternative.
CHEM 107F starts a three-term chain
If you start at CHEM 107F, it comes before CHEM 111AF, which comes before CHEM 111BF: three semesters of chemistry. CHEM 111AF also accepts MATH 141F, MATH 141HF or MATH 143F instead of CHEM 107F.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Fullerton College cover for UCI Nursing Science?
Fullerton matches 10 of UCI's 11 prep requirements, including BIOL 272 F for foundational biology, the CHEM 111AF, CHEM 111BF sequence, and both recommended electives, PSY 139 F and NUTR 210 F. Only public health is missing.
Does Fullerton have a class for UCI's public health requirement?
No. PUBHLTH 1 has no Fullerton match, and UCI requires public health for admission, so it's a gap you face before transfer rather than a class to take at UCI.
Which genetics course should I take at Fullerton?
Either BIOL 109 F or BIOL 276 F satisfies UCI's BIO SCI 97 requirement, so choose based on which fits your term schedule.
Are Fullerton's recommended nursing electives covered?
Yes. PSY 139 F satisfies UCI's NUR SCI 116 lifespan recommendation, and NUTR 210 F, or the honors NUTR 210HF, satisfies NUR SCI 50 nutrition, even though neither is required for admission.
