Community/Junior College Transfer Notes

  1. Admission requirements can and do vary among the business and accounting programs at the ten universities comprising the State University System. To ensure that they have met all prerequisite course eligibility requirements, transfer students from Florida’s community and junior colleges should complete the following common program prerequisites as part of their Associate of Arts degree: ACG 2021 (or ACG 2001 and ACG 2011), ACG 2071, ECO 2013, ECO 2023, MAC 2233, STA 2023, (or QMB 2100) and CGS 2100. At UCF, students who have completed MAC 2233 and STA 2023 will be waived from ECO 3401 Business Quantitative Tools I. Students who have completed either MAC 2233 or STA 2023, but not both, must take ECO 3401. Completion of these courses will satisfy all prerequisite course requirements for all business and accounting degree programs and will ensure that a student will receive further consideration for admission.
  2. Subject to the general grade and residence requirements, credit will be granted for transferred course work equivalent to that required in UCF’s Business program. Only grades of C (2.0) or higher transfer into the program.
  3. Florida Public Community College students are advised to complete the Associate of Arts Degree including:
    1. The general education requirements
    2. All of the common program prerequisite courses.
  4. Courses taken at community colleges do not substitute for upper division courses.
  5. Courses transferred must be formally evaluated for equivalency credit. The student must provide a course syllabus and any other supporting information with his/her petition for this evaluation.
  6. Professional courses should not be taken at a community/junior college in the areas of Accounting, Economics, Management Information Systems, Management, Marketing, Real Estate, or Finance. These professional areas are third and fourth year course areas in the College of Business Administration and cannot be satisfied with community/junior college courses.
  7. A minimum of 12 credit hours must be completed at UCF within each individual major and 30 hours within the UCF College of Business.
