Hello all! I am currently attending UCR as a first year and want to keep my options open about transferring to another UC in the future.
Online the requirement for transferring to UCLA or UCI is “one year of calculus”. Does this mean the entire Math009 series? or is taking Math009a and Math009b enough to fulfill it?
Currently, I am enrolled in Math 009B, but I was wondering if the requirement requires me to take Math 009C or not.
Thanks!!
What major?
But “one year” typically means completing the third quarter or second semester calculus course at most schools.
For some majors, UCI says two semesters of math or two quarters of math. I’m not really sure why but they do.
Others can better help you if you name specific majors.
Engineering/math/physics; business; economics; science/biology, depending on the UC campus can have different calculus requirements and levels. Beside reading the description of the calculus courses at a particular UC campus, generally, if you take the hardest level, which would be the calculus requirement for engineering/math/physics students, it would and should meet the calculus requirements for business, economics, or biology. It does not work the other way if you are taking calculus for business, econ or biology and want to change to engineering. You would need to take another calculus class to meet engineering/physics/math requirements…
One year calculus means 3 quarters or 2 semesters. For example UCLA’s bus. econ. is 2 quarters (31A/31B, which is engineering Calcu); life science is 2 quarters (3A/3B, a lower Calcu); UCB Haas or econ is 1 year or 2 semesters (16A/16B, the lower calculus; or 1A/1B, the engineering calculus). I believe UCR business is 1 quarter (math 22, non engineering Calcu). I don’t know what the 9 series at UCR fulfills.
SORRY! I am currently a Bio major at UCR but want to transfer into UCI as a neuroscience major and UCLA as a psychobiology major

UCI neurobiology requires UCI MATH 2A and 2B (single variable calculus), and one of MATH 2D (multivariable calculus quarter 1) or MATH 3A (linear algebra) or STATS 7 or 8 (introductory statistics).
UCLA psychobiology requires UCLA MATH 31A and 31B (single variable calculus), and 32A (multivariable calculus quarter 1)
It looks like the most similar UCR courses for the single variable calculus and multivariable calculus quarter 1 courses are MATH 9A, 9B, and 10A. However, UCI MATH 2B and UCLA MATH 31B include infinite series that are in UCR MATH 9C, so you may have to take that as well in order to cover all of the topics in the UCI and UCLA math courses that are required for those majors.
You may want to contact UCI and UCLA directly with your question about whether you need to take MATH 9C at UCR as well as MATH 9A, 9B, and 10A.
