UCLA Computer Science: full GE notes
Computer Science applicants to Samueli don't need IGETC or Cal-GETC, and a partial version of either isn't accepted.
5 semesters minimum for MATH C2210 onward
MATH C2210 through PHYS M20CL: 5 courses, each needing the one before, so 5 semesters minimum, more than four fall and spring terms. Start MATH C2210 first or plan on summer. Placing higher shortens it.
Moorpark semesters, UCLA quarters
Moorpark runs on semesters and UCLA on quarters. Your units convert when you transfer, one semester unit to 1.5 quarter units, and anything left runs on UCLA's quicker quarter schedule.

Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
2 UCLA requirements have no Moorpark match
Moorpark lists no course for COM SCI 35L and a UCLA choose-1 requirement. Check UCLA's Computer Science page for whether they have to be done before you transfer, and plan where you'll cover them.
Start with MATH C2210 and CS M125
MATH C2210 and CS M125 sit at the start of their sequences for this route, so they fit your first semester, next to ENGL C1000 for English composition.
More than one way to cover MATH 31A
For UCLA MATH 31A, Moorpark accepts MATH M25A or MATH M25AH. You need only one of them, so pick whichever fits your schedule.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What classes should I take at Moorpark for UCLA Computer Science?
CS M125, CS M135, CS M145, MATH M25A or MATH M25AH, MATH M25B or MATH M25BH, MATH M25C and MATH M31, plus the rest in the table above. Together they match 13 of the 15 prep courses UCLA lists for Computer Science.
What doesn't Moorpark cover for UCLA Computer Science?
COM SCI 35L and a UCLA choose-1 requirement. Moorpark lists no course for them, so check UCLA's Computer Science page for whether they have to be finished before you transfer.
Does Moorpark CS M125 transfer to UCLA?
Yes, for Computer Science. Moorpark CS M125 (Programming Concepts and Methodology I) is the match for UCLA COM SCI 31 (Introduction to Computer Science I) in the transfer agreement.
What is UCLA's transfer admit rate for Computer Science?
5% of all transfer applicants to UCLA Computer Science were admitted in 2025. That figure covers applicants from every college, so it isn't specific to Moorpark.
