Palomar College to UCI
Business Administration Transfer Plan
Palomar matches every one of UC Irvine's eight Business Administration requirements. Its enhanced sections, MATH 140E, MATH 141E and STAT C1000E, satisfy the same requirements as the standard versions, so pick whichever format fits how you learn.

Palomar runs semesters, UCI runs quarters
Every Palomar course on this list still lines up with a UCI course, so ACCT 201 becomes MGMT 30A. Semester units convert to about 1.5 quarter units each once you're at UCI.

Watch Out
Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
Enhanced sections cover the same requirement
MATH 140E and MATH 141E, the enhanced calculus sections, satisfy MATH 2A and MATH 2B exactly like MATH 140 and MATH 141 do. STAT C1000E works the same way for MGMT 7.
PSYC 205 also covers MGMT 7
UCI's statistics requirement also opens through PSYC 205 at Palomar, not just STAT C1000 or the Enhanced STAT C1000E. Pick whichever course pairs better with your other classes that term.
BUS 100 can wait until after transfer
BUS 100 matches UCI's MGMT 1, but ASSIST notes that MGMT 1 may be completed at UCI itself. Finish calculus, economics, statistics and accounting first.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What classes should I take at Palomar for UCI Business Administration?
MATH 140 and MATH 141 for calculus, ECON 102 and ECON 101 for economics, STAT C1000 (or STAT C1000E or PSYC 205) for statistics, and ACCT 201 then ACCT 202 for accounting. BUS 100 can come later.
Is anything for UCI Business Administration not covered at Palomar?
Palomar has an ASSIST match for all eight UCI requirements, so nothing gets pushed to after you transfer. Even the statistics requirement opens through three different courses here.
Does Palomar MATH 140 transfer to UCI?
Yes, MATH 140 transfers as MATH 2A, and the enhanced MATH 140E counts the same way. MATH 141 or MATH 141E then covers MATH 2B.
Can Palomar students use TAG for UCI Business Administration?
Fall 2027 applicants can't use TAG here. UCI sets the floor at a 3.0 transferable GPA and ranks applicants by grades from there.

Palomar College has an ASSIST match for every UC Irvine Business Administration prep course. MATH 140 and MATH 141, or their enhanced sections, cover calculus, ECON 102 and ECON 101 cover economics, STAT C1000, STAT C1000E or PSYC 205 covers MGMT 7, and ACCT 201 then ACCT 202 cover accounting. UCI doesn't accept TAG applicants to this major for fall 2027, so admission comes down to grades. See these courses scheduled by term when you add this major on Transfermatic.
