SJSU ARTICULATION AGREEMENT
Lower Division Requirements
Fall 2024 - Spring 2025
BS - Kinesiology
San José State University -to- Columbia College
Community College students should meet with a counselor as soon as possible to determine the equivalent courses offered at that institution. Students should complete as many as possible of the lower division requirements listed below, prior to transfer.
Lower Division Course Requirements | Community College Course Equivalents | |
STAR Act (SB 1440): | ||
| The Kinesiology department accepts the AA-T in Kinesiology for transfer into the BS Kinesiology (Transfer Curriculum Studies area of study) major. We recommend transfer students complete the following courses, which are required for the Kinesiology major at SJSU, as part of their AA-T in Kinesiology. Students should take courses which clear the American Institution requirement and a second course in English composition as part of their CSU GE or IGETC requirements for the AA-T degree (doing so will increase greater choice in the 60 units of SJSU course work to be taken after transfer). | ||
Second Course in English Composition: | ||
| ENGL 002 Critical Thinking and Writing | ENGL 1B Advanced Composition and Introduction to Literature OR Engl 1C Advanced Composition and Critical Thinking OR HIST 5 Introduction to the History and Philosophy of Science | |
| or | ||
| ENGL 001B Argument and Analysis | ENGL 1B Advanced Composition and Introduction to Literature OR HIST 5 Introduction to the History and Philosophy of Science | |
Listed below are lower division course requirements necessary for: BS - Kinesiology with specialization in Exercise and Fitness, Rehabilitation Sciences, Sport Management and Culture, Inclusive Physical Activity in Communities, or Transfer Curriculum Studies. | ||
| Note: Students must earn a grade of "C" or better in BIOL 65 (65o), 66, and CHEM 30A, and earn a grade of "C-" or better in the Math concepts course and all the requirements of the major. | ||

IMPORTANT TRANSFER INFORMATION:
Admission to San Jose State is competitive in all majors. SJSU continues to have more qualified applicants than available new student spaces. Because of this, SJSU is an impacted campus with impacted programs. For the most current information regarding admission impaction at SJSU please visit our website SJSU Impaction Information page.
Prior to transferring to San Jose State University all transfers must earn at least 60 transferable semester units (90 quarter), including the CSU four basic skill courses required for CSU admission eligibility (except majors which have an approved CSU GE A3 waiver). Within those 60 semester/90 quarter units, students are strongly encouraged to complete the following:
1. Lower Division Major Course Requirements (especially for STEM Majors):
Complete as many of the lower division courses required for the major as possible. Many of these courses may be double counted as part of the CSU GE-Breadth 39 semester unit requirements. The lower division major courses for this major are shown above.
2. General Education Requirements:
Complete all the CSU GE Breadth requirements at the community college (39 semester units/58 quarter units). The approved courses for each area can be found at www.assist.org under the link "CSU GE-Breadth Certification Courses" for your college. Many of these courses may be double counted to meet the major requirements shown above, so choose your courses wisely. Some SJSU majors which meet GE requirements within the majors are noted on the Major Exceptions and Modifications page in our catalog. Please see your college counselor/advisor to review your general education in order to receive FULL OR PARTIAL CERTIFICATION PRIOR TO TRANSFER to San Jose State University.
3. Second Course in English Composition highly recommended:
All students are strongly encouraged to complete a second English composition course as part of their lower division GE prior to transferring to SJSU (either to meet CSU GE Area A3 or C2) for the greatest success in passing the Writing Skills Test (WST) at SJSU. Complete this course with a grade of "C" or better prior to registering for the WST at SJSU to avoid delays in enrollment for other SJSU courses. To register for the WST contact our Testing office at: testing.sjsu.edu.
4. American Institutions Requirement (US 1, US 2, and US 3 must be completed):
This requirement is normally 2 courses and can be taken as part of your CSU GE-Breadth 39 semester unit requirements (GE Area D and sometimes Area C). The approved courses can be found at www.assist.org under the link "CSU U.S. History, Constitution, and American Ideals Courses" for your college.
5. Graduation Requirement - Physical Education (PE):
All undergraduate students who matriculate at SJSU are required to complete two units of physical education from Kinesiology/Dance activity courses, unless the major program has an approved PE waiver. Majors which have approved PE waivers are noted on the Major Exceptions and Modifications page in our catalog.
