Long Beach City College to UCI
Nursing Science Transfer Plan
LBCC matches 10 of UCI's 11 Nursing Science prep requirements. Genetics, BIO SCI 97, is the one gap, and because UCI requires it for admission with a B or better, it has to be done before you transfer.

Chemistry comes before BIO 1A at LBCC
CHEM 2 leads to CHEM 1A, which leads into BIO 1A: three semesters minimum, so enroll in CHEM 2 your first term to stay on pace.
LBCC semesters, UCI quarters
LBCC's CHEM 1A and CHEM 1B, two semesters, stand in for UCI's three-quarter chemistry year. UCI's notes ask for one quarter or semester in each other subject, so a single LBCC course covers each one.

Watch Out
Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
Genetics is LBCC's one required gap
BIO SCI 97 has no LBCC match. UCI's admission list includes genetics, so this gap is due before you transfer rather than a course to pick up at UCI.
Statistics has a two-course alternate path
Besides STAT C1000, STAT C1000H, STAT C1000E or PSYCH 5, LBCC students can pair MATH 21A with MATH 21B for UCI's statistics requirement. MATH 21B needs MATH 21A, so that route takes two semesters.
Neither recommended course has an LBCC match
NUR SCI 116 and NUR SCI 50 are recommended, not required, and LBCC has no course for either. Leaving them unmatched doesn't affect admission.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What LBCC classes count toward UCI Nursing Science?
LBCC matches 10 of UCI's 11 prep requirements, including BIO 1A for foundational biology, the CHEM 1A, CHEM 1B chemistry sequence, and PH 21 for public health. Genetics is the only required gap.
Does LBCC offer a genetics class for UCI nursing?
No. BIO SCI 97 has no LBCC equivalent, and genetics is on UCI's required-for-admission list, so it must be completed before transfer rather than at UCI.
Does LBCC cover UCI's public health requirement?
Yes. PH 21 satisfies UCI's PUBHLTH 1 requirement, one of the courses UCI requires for admission with a B or better.
Which LBCC courses satisfy UCI's statistics requirement?
STAT C1000, STAT C1000H, STAT C1000E, PSYCH 5, or the MATH 21A and MATH 21B pair all work for UCI's statistics requirement. PSYCH 5 needs PSYC C1000 or ANTH C1001 or SOCI C1000 or GEOG 2 first.

Related Transfer Plans
Long Beach City College students headed into UC Irvine's Nursing Science, B.S. program match 10 of UCI's 11 prep requirements, from BIO 1A for foundational biology through the CHEM 1A, CHEM 1B chemistry sequence and PH 21 for public health. The one gap is genetics, BIO SCI 97, which has no LBCC course, and UCI requires it for admission. Neither recommended course, NUR SCI 116 or NUR SCI 50, has an LBCC match either, though both are optional. Transfermatic maps this LBCC-to-UCI Nursing Science route so the genetics gap is clear before you plan your terms.
