Five-semester calculus chain at LBCC
LBCC's math chain runs MATH 40, 50, C2210, C2220 and 80 in order, five semesters minimum. Begin it your first term; the calculus series is due by the end of spring before you enroll at UC Davis.
LBCC semesters, UC Davis quarters
LBCC works in semesters while UC Davis works in quarters. Your LBCC credits carry over; what changes is the rhythm at Davis, with ten-week terms and a new set of classes three times a year.

Watch Out
Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
Business law has no LBCC match
ARE 018 has no LBCC course on this agreement. Because UC Davis expects every major-prep course done by the end of spring before you enroll, ask a UC Davis advisor about this one early rather than assuming it can wait.
Calculus runs five semesters at LBCC
MATH 40 leads through MATH 50, C2210, C2220 and finally MATH 80 at LBCC, five terms total. Starting this chain late is the biggest risk to your timeline.
Honors economics covers the same slots
ECON 2H and ECON 1H at LBCC satisfy the same UC Davis micro and macro requirements as the standard sections, so honors students aren't at a disadvantage.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Does LBCC ECON 2 transfer to UC Davis?
Yes. ECON 2 satisfies UC Davis's ECN 001A Microeconomics requirement, and ECON 1 covers ECN 001B Macroeconomics, so both required economics courses are matched at LBCC.
What classes does LBCC not cover for this major?
LBCC has no course matching ARE 018, UC Davis's business law requirement. The deadline for all major prep is the end of spring before fall enrollment, so talk to a UC Davis advisor about it. Calculus, statistics, accounting and communication all have LBCC matches.
What is UC Davis's admit rate for Managerial Economics?
57% of all transfer applicants to Managerial Economics were admitted to UC Davis in 2025. The figure covers the full applicant pool, not only LBCC students.
Is UC Davis Managerial Economics TAG eligible from LBCC?
Yes. LBCC applicants qualify for Managerial Economics TAG with a 3.20 cumulative GPA, as long as the economics, calculus and statistics group averages at least 2.00 and holds no grade below a C.
