Long Beach City College to UC Berkeley
Business Administration Transfer Plan
Long Beach City College covers every one of Haas's six prerequisites, so the whole list is available on campus. LBCC's ECON 1 and ECON 2 together satisfy UC Berkeley's ECON 1, and honors versions of both are accepted too.

Cal-GETC and IGETC have no role in Haas admission; the school's own seven-course breadth requirement is a separate, later step tied to graduating, not applying.

Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
LBCC's own ECON 1 and 2 pair together
UC Berkeley's ECON 1 takes two LBCC courses that happen to share its name: ECON 1 and ECON 2, or the honors pair ECON 1H and ECON 2H. Either combination covers the requirement.
Statistics pathway needs MATH 21A first
MATH 21B satisfies statistics, but only after MATH 21A. STAT C1000 or STAT C1000H skip that extra course if you'd rather not take the two-part pathway.
Reading & Composition A includes an ESL option
Besides ENGL C1000 and its honors and enhanced versions, LBCC's ESL 1S, College Writing for Non-Native Speakers, also satisfies Reading & Composition A for Haas.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What LBCC classes transfer to UC Berkeley Haas?
GBUS 5 for business foundations, ECON 1 and ECON 2 together for Berkeley's ECON 1, STAT C1000 or MATH 21B for statistics, MATH 60 for calculus, and ENGL C1000 plus ENGL C1001 for composition.
Is anything missing from LBCC's Haas prep?
No, ASSIST lists an LBCC match for all six requirements. The one thing to plan around is MATH 21B, which needs MATH 21A finished first if you choose that statistics route.
What's UC Berkeley Haas's admit rate?
5%, UC Berkeley's 2025 transfer admit rate for Business Administration across every community college, not a number specific to LBCC. Haas also requires its own supplemental application, due at the end of January, separate from the UC application.
Does Cal-GETC cover Haas's breadth requirement?
No. Haas doesn't accept Cal-GETC or IGETC toward admission and instead uses its own seven-course breadth list, which applies at graduation, not when you apply.

Related Transfer Plans
Long Beach City College covers the entire prerequisite list for UC Berkeley Haas's Business Administration, B.S. program, honors options included. GBUS 5 covers business foundations, the college's own ECON 1 paired with ECON 2 satisfies Berkeley's economics requirement, and MATH 60 opens the calculus sequence. Statistics can be met with STAT C1000 or through the MATH 21A to MATH 21B pathway. Transfermatic schedules LBCC's MATH 21A before MATH 21B whenever that statistics route fits a student's plan better.
