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 100 onward
MATH 100 through PHYS 142: 5 courses, each needing the one before, so 5 semesters minimum, more than four fall and spring terms. Start MATH 100 first or plan on summer. Placing higher shortens it.
Ohlone semesters, UCLA quarters
Ohlone 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 Ohlone match
Ohlone 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 100 and CS 102
MATH 100 and CS 102 sit at the start of their sequences for this route, so they fit your first semester.
Ohlone gives you options here
For UCLA COM SCI 31, Ohlone accepts CS 102 or CS 116. You need only one of them, so pick whichever fits your schedule.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What classes should I take at Ohlone for UCLA Computer Science?
CS 102 or CS 116, CS 124, CS 118, MATH 101A, MATH 101B, MATH 101C and MATH 103, plus the rest in the table above. Together they match 13 of the 15 prep courses UCLA lists for Computer Science.
What doesn't Ohlone cover for UCLA Computer Science?
COM SCI 35L and a UCLA choose-1 requirement. Ohlone lists no course for them, so check UCLA's Computer Science page for whether they have to be finished before you transfer.
Does Ohlone CS 124 transfer to UCLA?
Yes, for Computer Science. Ohlone CS 124 (Programming with Data Structures) is the match for UCLA COM SCI 32 (Introduction to Computer Science II) 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 Ohlone.
