Marine Biology transfer requirements: Foothill College → UCLA

These are the lower-division Marine Biology courses UCLA expects you to finish before you transfer, taken from the 2025–26 ASSIST agreement, and matched to the Foothill College courses that satisfy each one.

Also searched as: UC Los Angeles.

Same preparation as Biology. UCLA expects an identical lower-division list for Marine Biology and Biology, so the courses below count for either path. Decide the major later — the lower-division work is the same.

Also listed in this agreement

ASSIST lists these Foothill College courses under this major without naming a single UCLA course they map to — usually because they sit inside a “choose from the following” group. They are part of the agreement, so treat them as in scope and check the exact grouping on ASSIST.

Verify this list on ASSIST.org before you register: choose Foothill College as your sending institution, UCLA as the receiving institution, and Marine Biology as the major. ASSIST is the only official source, and agreements change between catalog years.

Which of these you can actually take in 2025–26

Matched against the official Foothill College schedule for 2026 Fall and 2027 Winter. Seat status changes daily — the planner shows the live figures.

ASSIST is the official source for UC articulation, but it tells you which courses count, not when they run or who teaches them. The planner puts both together and warns you about time conflicts.
