The UCLA Anderson School of Management has reinstated UCLA's lower division
accounting sequence, Management 1A and 1B, after briefly offering accounting only at the
upper division level. Management 1A and 1B include topics in financial and managerial
accounting commonly covered in 2 semesters or 3 quarters of introductory accounting at
the CCCs. Specifically, course 1A covers financial accounting, and course 1B covers
managerial accounting. UC-transferable CCC accounting courses that were previously
articulated as UCLA's Management 1A and 1B (in 2003-04 and before) will have the
articulation reinstated; no review of course outlines will be required. UCLA's upcoming
2006-07 major preparation articulation agreements in ASSIST will include Management 1A
and 1B on the appropriate majors.
The UCLA Business Economics and Math/Applied Science majors will once again require
lower division accounting as part of their major preparation, effective for students
transferring in Fall 2007. The accounting requirement for admission to the highly selective
Business Economics major will be phased in as outlined below.

Business Economics will require both Management 1A and 1B as part of the lower
division preparation.
For Fall 2007 admission to Business Economics, students are strongly advised, but
not required, to complete the accounting sequence along with the other major
preparation courses prior to transfer.
For Fall 2008 admission to Business Economics, students are required to complete the
accounting sequence along with the other major preparation courses prior to transfer.
•
Math/Applied Science will require Management 1A for the Operations Research Plan,
and both Management 1A and 1B for the Actuarial Plan and the Management/
Accounting Plan. Students interested in any of these plans within the Math/Applied
Science major should consider completing accounting prior to transfer, but accounting
is not strictly required to be admitted to the major. Students who do not complete the
accounting prior to transfer will have to complete it after transfer to UCLA.
CSU CHICO TO DENY UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX
MATHEMATICS COURSES
Chico State has recently reviewed the Mathematics course offerings from University of
Phoenix and has determined that none may be used in CSU GE and/or for admissions
purposes for our campus. None of these courses lists Intermediate Algebra as a prerequisite; we require that Intermediate Algebra (or higher) be a stated pre-requisite in order
for a Math course to be used in GE and/or admissions. In addition, a review of the course
outlines for MTH 208 and 209 (College Mathematics I and II) indicates that the content is
more in line with Beginning Algebra and Intermediate Algebra respectively, rather than the
“college algebra” cited in the catalog description. For these reasons we request that
California Community Colleges refrain from using any University of Phoenix Mathematics
course in a CSU GE Certification sent to Chico State.
