Fullerton College to UCLA
Economics Transfer Plan
Fullerton covers four of UCLA's six Economics prep courses: ECON 101 F, ECON 102 F, MATH 151 F and MATH 152 F. ECON 11 and ECON 41 have no Fullerton match, so both wait until UCLA.

EconomicsUCLA Transfer Alliance Program (TAP)
Economics is a College of Letters and Science major, so it's inside TAP's reach. Fullerton's Honors Program, once certified, puts your application in the priority pool and adds a backup major if Economics is full. TAP promises nothing, and it stopped covering one-year transfers in May 2026.

Fullerton semesters, UCLA quarters
Fullerton's two calculus semesters, MATH 151 F and 152 F, satisfy UCLA's two quarter-length math courses. Once you're at UCLA, ECON 11 and ECON 41 fit into a three-quarter academic year instead.

Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
Econ has honors, calculus doesn't
Fullerton offers ECON 101HF and 102HF as honors alternatives to the matched econ courses, but MATH 151 F and 152 F have no honors section listed.
ECON 11 and ECON 41 aren't required first
Fullerton has no course for either, and UCLA's Economics prep checklist only asks for micro, macro and a year of calculus, finished by the spring before transfer.
Finish prep by fall, not just spring
UCLA requires Fullerton's four matched courses done by the spring before transfer but strongly recommends finishing all of them the fall term prior.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What classes do I take at Fullerton for UCLA economics?
ECON 101 F for microeconomics, ECON 102 F for macroeconomics, and MATH 151 F then MATH 152 F for UCLA's calculus sequence. Honors econ sections, 101HF and 102HF, also count.
Does Fullerton have a class for UCLA ECON 11 or ECON 41?
No, ASSIST lists no Fullerton course for either one. Both are completed after you transfer, since UCLA doesn't require them for admission to the major.
Does Fullerton ECON 101 F transfer to UCLA?
Yes, Fullerton ECON 101 F, Principles of Economics - Micro, satisfies UCLA's ECON 1 requirement. The honors version, ECON 101HF, transfers the same way.
What is the UCLA economics transfer admit rate?
UCLA admitted 16% of transfer applicants to Economics in 2025, combining every applicant college rather than Fullerton alone. ASSIST describes the major as highly selective with limited space.
