Las Positas College to UC Berkeley
Business Administration Transfer Plan
Las Positas College covers every one of UC Berkeley Haas's six prerequisites, so nothing on this route needs to wait until after transfer. Statistics has just one accepted course here, STAT C1000, so plan your schedule around when it's offered.

UC Berkeley Business Administration: full GE notes
Haas ignores Cal-GETC and IGETC when deciding admission and instead checks its own seven-course breadth list, a requirement for your degree rather than for getting in.

Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
Las Positas's ECON 1 and 2 pair up
UC Berkeley's ECON 1 requirement takes two Las Positas courses with matching numbers: ECON 1 and ECON 2. They're separate from Berkeley's own ECON 1 code, so don't assume one course covers it.
Calculus needs MATH 39 or MATH 21 first
MATH 1 won't open until you've finished MATH 39 or MATH 21 at Las Positas. Check which one fits your placement before planning your first calculus term.
Composition B offers a literature-focused option
ENG 4, Critical Thinking and Writing About Literature, or ENGL C1001 both satisfy Reading & Composition B. Pick ENG 4 if literature suits you better than the standard composition track.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What Las Positas classes transfer to UC Berkeley Haas?
BUSN 40 for business foundations, ECON 1 and ECON 2 together for Berkeley's ECON 1, STAT C1000 for statistics, MATH 1 for calculus, and ENGL C1000 plus ENG 4 or ENGL C1001 for composition.
Does Las Positas cover every Haas requirement?
Yes, all six requirements have a Las Positas match, so there's no gap after transfer. Just watch the calculus prerequisite: MATH 1 needs MATH 39 or MATH 21 finished first.
What's UC Berkeley Haas's admit rate for transfers?
5%. That covers every community college applying to Business Administration in 2025, not Las Positas specifically. Haas requires a separate supplemental application by the end of January in addition to the standard UC application.
Is IGETC accepted for Haas admission?
No. Haas doesn't accept IGETC or Cal-GETC and instead has its own seven-course breadth requirement, which applies at graduation rather than at the application stage.

Related Transfer Plans
Every prerequisite for UC Berkeley Haas's Business Administration, B.S. degree has a Las Positas College match, with statistics being the simplest requirement to plan around. BUSN 40 covers business foundations, the college's own ECON 1 paired with ECON 2 satisfies Berkeley's economics requirement, and MATH 1 opens the calculus sequence after MATH 39 or MATH 21. STAT C1000 is the sole accepted statistics course. Transfermatic accounts for that MATH 39 or MATH 21 prerequisite when scheduling calculus at Las Positas.
