<p>I'm currently doing business at SFSU, my first year.
I was wondering if I needed any Calculus classes in order to transfer? At CSU's, if you're majoring in business, you only need either business calculus or mathematical analysis for business.
I'm also looking to transfer to USC and maybe Santa Clara.</p>
<p>If the major that you’re trying to transfer into requires that students complete a calculus course/ sequence, then yes you do. If it doesn’t, then no you don’t. Considering many UCs don’t even have a business program, the answer varies widely depending on the specific school. You could find out very easily by looking at your target UC’s general catalog though.</p>
<p>For any UC you will need a quantitative reasoning course anyway. However, I’m not sure if many of the UCs accept a “Business Calculus” calculus course. I know UCB and UCLA don’t, they require straight calculus.</p>
<ol>
<li>USC and Santa Clara are not part of the UC system.</li>
<li>Calc for business and social science I and II in place of Calc is acceptable to any UC and preferred for business majors unless its a business accounting or actuary science degree program.<br></li>
<li>Almost every UC has some sort of business program but vary in name and specialty on the bachelors level. Typically one would get a graduate level MBA with a computer, accounting, marketing, economics or communication based bachelor degree but depends on your interest. </li>
<li>Santa Clara has the better bachelors business program but USC has the better masters level business program which is a good way to go but very expensive as well, much higher than the UC system.</li>
</ol>
<p>^kmazza is completely wrong on point 2.</p>
<p>Business Calculus absolutely does not transfer to UCLA and does not fulfill your Quantative Reasoning graduation requirement, much less your Calc I and II Business Major requirements. I’ve talked to several counselors about this and there’s no way to change it, they will not accept Business Calculus. </p>
<p>Furthermore, you will be rejected straight out from UCB Haas school of business for taking Business Calculus rather than Calculus because applicants who have not fulfilled every requirement are auto-rejected. Forewarned is forearmed.</p>
<p>I know nothing about the other UCs, but this is concrete for UCB and UCLA.</p>
