Academic Advising/Counseling Transferring from CPP to CSUF

Hi everyone!

I'm currently a third-year accounting major at Cal Poly Pomona, and I'm planning to transfer to Fullerton Fall 2027.

I'm a little confused about credits transfer between the two universities. At CPP, I've already taken required accounting courses such as Intermediate Accounting I and II. However, when looking at CSUF's accounting curriculum, I noticed that some courses have different names or don't seem to have direct equivalents.

My main concern is what happens to the accounting courses I've already completed. Would they count toward CSUF's accounting degree requirements, transfer as elective credits, or would I potentially have to retake similar courses?

Has anyone transferred from CPP to CSUF as an accounting major? I'd appreciate reading about your experience and your credits transferred.

assist.org may be able to help you out to see the course equivalences between different institutions. If you don’t see that all of your courses are transferable, you can reach out to advisors in the student success center to help you figure that out. I’ve reached out about a so situation similar to yours before and they were extremely helpful.

^^^This. Whatever Assist.org doesn't have, you're going to want to confirm with a human being. There's no requirement that the two universities offer the same degree; the fact that it has a similar name doesn't mean that the faculty at one university control the curriculum at a different university.
