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 | |
Preparation for the Major: | ||
| General Chemistry Equivalent | Chem 1A General Chemistry OR Chem 1B General Chemistry | |
| Note: SJSU requires completion of the Chemistry sequence for most majors, however this major only requires completion of one semester equivalent General Chemistry, in lieu of CHEM 1A. | ||
| MATH 030 Calculus I | Math 1A Single Variable Calculus & Analytical Geometry I | |
| MATH 031 Calculus II | Math 1B Single Variable Calculus & Analytical Geometry II | |
| MATH 032 Calculus III | Math 1C Multivariable Calculus | |
| MATH 129A Linear Algebra I | Math 2 Linear Algebra CONTENT CREDIT ONLY | |
| OR | ||
| CHEM 001B General Chemistry | Chem 1A General Chemistry AND Chem 1B General Chemistry Equivalent only if sequence is complete | |
| MATH 133A Ordinary Differential Equations Community College Math courses articulated with SJSU's Math 129A or 133A will meet the course content requirements for the major but will not receive upper division credit. | Math 3 Differential Equations CONTENT CREDIT ONLY | |
Physics Requirement: | ||
| Note: Students who begin their university experience as freshmen at San José State University will need to take the following Physics series: PHYSICS 70 and 71 (equivalent to PHYSICS 50, 51, 52) at San José State University. All transfer students will be expected to have completed the course equivalents to the Physics series listed below. | ||
| PHYS 050 General Physics/Mechanics | Phys 4A Mechanics, Fluids & Waves | |
| PHYS 051 General Physics/Electricity and Magnetism | Phys 4B Electricity & Magnetism | |
| PHYS 052 General Physics/Heat and Light | Phys 4C Thermodynamics & Modern Physics | |
| OR | ||
| PHYS 070 Mechanics | No Current Equivalent | |
| PHYS 071 Electricity and Magnetism | No Current Equivalent | |
Engineering Requirements: | ||
| CE 008 Plane Surveying | No Current Equivalent | |
| CE 099 Statics Students must earn a grade of "C-" or better in this course. | Engr 2 Statics | |
| ENGR 010 Introduction to Engineering | No Current Equivalent | |
| CE 020 Engineering Graphics, CAD and Programming | No Current Equivalent | |
| Note: Courses articulated to both ME 20 and ME 30 would be used to satisfy CE 20. | ||
| EE 098 Introduction to Circuit Analysis | Engr 3 Electrical Circuits & Devices | |
| MATE 025 Introduction to Materials | Engr 4 Properties of Materials | |
| ENGL 001B Composition 2 A "C" or better is required in English 1B (a "C-" is not acceptable). English 1B is required of all Engineering majors. | Engl 1B Composition & Literature | |
Lower Division General Education (39 semester or 58 quarter units) - some of the courses listed above may be approved for general education credit as well as major preparation at your institution. Please see your college counselor/advisor to review your general education in order to receive FULL OR PARTIAL CERTIFICATION PRIOR TO TRANSFER to San José State University. You may be required to take additional lower division general education courses if you do not provide SJSU WITH A FULL OR PARTIAL CERTIFICATION OF GENERAL EDUCATION upon transfer.
American Institutions Requirement (3-9 semester or 5-15 quarter units) - may be satisfied within the lower division general education requirements.
Physical Education Requirement (2 courses) - at least 2 different activities.
