Southwestern College to UCI
Business Administration Transfer Plan
Southwestern matches every one of UC Irvine's eight Business Administration requirements. Calculus I has two routes: MATH 250 on its own, or both MATH 121 and MATH 122, Applied Calculus I and II.

Southwestern runs semesters, UCI runs quarters
Every Southwestern course on this list still lines up with a UCI course, so ACCT 101 becomes MGMT 30A. Your semester units convert to about 1.5 quarter units each at UCI.

Watch Out
Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
Two ways to cover UCI's first calculus course
MATH 250 alone satisfies MATH 2A. The other route needs both MATH 121 and MATH 122, and MATH 122 requires MATH 121, so it takes two semesters instead of one.
MGMT 7 has a non-math option
SOC 270 or STAT C1000 both satisfy UCI's statistics requirement. SOC 270 is worth checking if you'd rather take statistics through the sociology department instead of math.
BUS 120 can wait until after transfer
BUS 120 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 Southwestern for UCI Business Administration?
MATH 250 (or MATH 121 and MATH 122) then MATH 251 for calculus, ECON 102 and ECON 101 for economics, SOC 270 or STAT C1000 for statistics, and ACCT 101 then ACCT 102 for accounting. BUS 120 can come later.
Is anything for UCI Business Administration not covered at Southwestern?
Southwestern leaves nothing out. All eight UCI requirements have an ASSIST match on this campus, and the calculus requirement even has two different paths into it.
Does Southwestern MATH 250 transfer to UCI?
Yes, MATH 250 transfers as MATH 2A on its own. The alternative is MATH 121 followed by MATH 122; ASSIST accepts that pair together, not either course alone.
Can Southwestern students use TAG for UCI Business Administration?
No. Business Administration doesn't take TAG applicants for fall 2027, and UCI wants at least a 3.0 transferable GPA before it ranks your file against the pool.

Related Transfer Plans
Southwestern College has an ASSIST match for every UC Irvine Business Administration prep course. MATH 250, or MATH 121 and MATH 122 together, cover calculus, ECON 102 and ECON 101 cover economics, SOC 270 or STAT C1000 covers MGMT 7, and ACCT 101 then ACCT 102 cover accounting. This major sits outside TAG for fall 2027 admission, with 3.0 as the minimum transferable GPA UCI will consider. Plug this college and major into Transfermatic to see it scheduled by term.
