Long Beach City College to UCLA
Business Economics Transfer Plan
LBCC covers six of UCLA's eight Business Economics prep courses, with honors sections available for macroeconomics and the first calculus course. ECON 11 and ECON 41 have no LBCC match, so those come after you transfer to UCLA.

Business EconomicsUCLA Transfer Alliance Program (TAP)
LBCC's Honors Program leads to TAP certification, giving Business Economics applicants priority consideration and a second look at an alternate major if they miss their first choice. TAP doesn't guarantee admission, and one-year transfer students no longer qualify.

LBCC runs semesters, UCLA runs quarters
Units shift once courses transfer: LBCC's 5-unit MATH 60 becomes a 4-unit UCLA MATH 31A, and 3-unit ECON 2 becomes 4-unit ECON 1. Go by what's completed, not by unit totals, to check your progress.

Watch Out
Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
LBCC's econ numbers run opposite UCLA's
ECON 2 here is microeconomics and fills UCLA's ECON 1, while ECON 1 (or honors ECON 1H) is macro and fills UCLA's ECON 2. Watch the number, not just the subject.
Only the first calculus course has honors
MATH 60 or MATH 60H both satisfy UCLA's MATH 31A, but MATH 70 is the only choice for MATH 31B. There's no honors section for the second course on this agreement.
Accounting is two courses, strictly in order
ACCTG 1B lists ACCTG 1A as its prerequisite. Together they cover UCLA's MGMT 1A and MGMT 1B, so book them across consecutive terms rather than at once.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What classes transfer from LBCC to UCLA for Business Economics?
ECON 2 and ECON 1 (or honors ECON 1H) cover UCLA's ECON 1 and ECON 2, ACCTG 1A and ACCTG 1B cover MGMT 1A and MGMT 1B, and MATH 60 (or 60H) with MATH 70 cover MATH 31A and MATH 31B.
Which UCLA Business Economics classes have no LBCC match?
ECON 11 (Microeconomic Theory) and ECON 41 (Probability and Statistics for Economists) have no LBCC course on this agreement, so both are completed at UCLA. The rest of the prep list is covered at LBCC.
Is LBCC's ECON 2 the same as UCLA's ECON 1?
For transfer credit, yes: ASSIST lists LBCC ECON 2 as satisfying UCLA's ECON 1 microeconomics requirement, while ECON 1 and honors ECON 1H fill the separate ECON 2 macroeconomics slot instead.
What is the UCLA Business Economics transfer admit rate?
10% of Business Economics transfer applicants were admitted for 2025, a figure covering every applicant to the major, not LBCC in particular. UCLA only admits directly to Pre-Business Economics or Pre-Economics, so there's no adding the major after you arrive.

Long Beach City College students transferring to UCLA for Business Economics can complete six of UCLA's eight prep courses at LBCC, using ECON 2 for microeconomics, an honors-eligible ECON 1 for macroeconomics, a two-term accounting sequence and MATH 60 through MATH 70 for calculus. UCLA's ECON 11 and ECON 41 have no LBCC equivalent and are finished after transfer. Transfermatic builds an LBCC-to-UCLA plan around the reversed econ numbering.
