Please note that this is a sample plan, and courses should be scheduled based on individual student needs. This sample plan covers university, college and major requirements.

This sample study plan assumes that the student did not complete any Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, or community college coursework prior to matriculation. It also assumes the student will complete the Entry-Level Writing Requirement and the American History and Institutions requirement before their first quarter at UC Davis. Students must also place into MAT 17A or higher by their first quarter to follow this plan.

MGT 098 is listed to assist with the transition to UC Davis and fulfills unit requirements only.

*The MAT 019 series is strongly recommended for business major students.

The general education courses listed only represent what is not fulfilled by the major. Learn more about General Education requirements.
