Fullerton College to UCLA
Business Economics Transfer Plan
Fullerton covers six of UCLA's eight Business Economics prep courses: ECON 101 F, ECON 102 F, ACCT 101AF, ACCT 101BF, MATH 151 F and MATH 152 F. UCLA's ECON 11 and ECON 41 have no Fullerton match, so plan to take them at UCLA.

Business EconomicsUCLA Transfer Alliance Program (TAP)
Fullerton's Honors Program is a TAP member. Students it certifies get priority consideration for UCLA Business Economics and a shot at an alternate major, and the honors econ sections, ECON 101HF and ECON 102HF, count toward prep. TAP isn't a guarantee, and one-year transfers can't be certified.

Fullerton semesters, UCLA quarters
Fullerton's ACCT 101AF is 5 semester units; UCLA's MGMT 1A is 4 quarter units. Your units convert at transfer, and the two remaining courses, ECON 11 and ECON 41, will be taught on UCLA's shorter quarter calendar.

Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
Honors econ counts; ACCT 102HF doesn't
ECON 101HF and ECON 102HF count the same as ECON 101 F and ECON 102 F. For accounting, ASSIST lists only ACCT 101AF for UCLA MGMT 1A; ACCT 102HF clears the prerequisite for ACCT 101BF but isn't on the agreement.
ACCT 101AF before ACCT 101BF
ACCT 101BF needs ACCT 101AF or ACCT 102HF first, and each accounting course runs 5 units. Take ACCT 101AF by your second semester so ACCT 101BF wraps up by the fall before transfer.
A 5 on Calculus BC covers both
A 5 on AP Calculus BC counts for UCLA MATH 31A and MATH 31B, the requirements MATH 151 F and MATH 152 F fill. A 5 on AB or a 4 on BC covers MATH 31A alone.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What Fullerton College classes transfer to UCLA Business Economics?
ECON 101 F (or ECON 101HF), ECON 102 F (or ECON 102HF), ACCT 101AF, ACCT 101BF, MATH 151 F and MATH 152 F. Each lines up with one UCLA requirement, from ECON 1 through MATH 31B. Start with the two econ courses.
What won't Fullerton cover for UCLA Business Economics?
UCLA ECON 11 (Microeconomic Theory) and ECON 41 (Probability and Statistics for Economists). ASSIST shows no Fullerton course for either, so you'd take them at UCLA. What UCLA expects done beforehand is micro, macro, a year of calculus and both accounting courses.
What is the UCLA Business Economics transfer acceptance rate?
In 2025, 10% of all transfer applicants to UCLA Business Economics were admitted. That's the rate across every college, not a Fullerton figure. You must be admitted directly as Pre-Business Economics, since UCLA doesn't let transfers move into it later.
Do I need Cal-GETC at Fullerton for UCLA Business Economics?
No, but UCLA strongly encourages it. Community college applicants to the College of Letters and Science are urged to complete IGETC or Cal-GETC, though it isn't required, so plan GE next to your six Fullerton prep courses.
