Las Positas College to UCI
Nursing Science Transfer Plan
Las Positas matches 10 of UCI's 11 Nursing Science prep requirements. Genetics, BIO SCI 97, is the one gap with no Las Positas course, and UCI requires it for admission with a B or better, so it can't wait until you transfer.

The longest chain here runs four semesters
The longest listed chain runs CHEM 31, CHEM 1A, BIO 1C, then BIO 7B: four semesters. BIO 7B also accepts CHEM 31 alone, but CHEM 1B and BIO 1C both wait on CHEM 1A, so start chemistry first.
Las Positas semesters, UCI quarters
UCI counts its chemistry year as three quarters, CHEM 1A, CHEM 1B, CHEM 1C, and Las Positas covers it in two semesters. Every other UCI requirement is one quarter or semester, so each maps to one Las Positas course.

Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
Genetics is the only Las Positas gap
BIO SCI 97 has no Las Positas match. UCI lists genetics among the courses required for admission, so it's a pre-transfer requirement, not something to finish at UCI.
Both recommended electives have a match
PSYC 12 satisfies UCI's NUR SCI 116 lifespan recommendation and NTRN 1 satisfies NUR SCI 50 nutrition, so Las Positas students can finish the optional prep early.
CHEM 31 opens a three-term chain
CHEM 31 comes before CHEM 1A, which comes before CHEM 1B, so registering for CHEM 31 right away keeps the three-semester chemistry sequence from slipping.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What Las Positas classes count toward UCI Nursing Science?
Las Positas matches 10 of UCI's 11 prep requirements, including BIO 1C for foundational biology, the CHEM 1A, CHEM 1B chemistry sequence, and PHIL 2 for ethics. Genetics is the only gap.
Does Las Positas offer a genetics class for UCI nursing?
No. BIO SCI 97 has no Las Positas equivalent, and UCI requires genetics for admission with a B or better, so it has to be finished before you transfer.
Are the recommended nursing electives available at Las Positas?
Yes. PSYC 12 covers UCI's NUR SCI 116 recommendation and NTRN 1 covers NUR SCI 50, so both optional courses are available even though neither is required.
Which Las Positas class satisfies UCI's statistics requirement?
STAT C1000 is the course Las Positas offers for UCI's statistics requirement, covering either the STATS 7 or STATS 8 option UCI accepts.

Related Transfer Plans
Las Positas College students transferring into UC Irvine's Nursing Science, B.S. program match 10 of UCI's 11 prep requirements, from BIO 1C for foundational biology through the CHEM 1A, CHEM 1B chemistry sequence and both recommended electives, PSYC 12 and NTRN 1. The one gap is genetics, BIO SCI 97, which has no Las Positas course even though UCI requires it for admission. CHEM 31 has to come before that chemistry sequence even starts. Transfermatic maps this Las Positas-to-UCI Nursing Science plan so the genetics gap and the chemistry order are clear well before registration.
