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 Course | No Current Equivalent | |
| 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 | MI 1010 Calculus I AND MI 1020 Calculus II AND MI 2010 Arithmetical Method Equivalent only if sequence is complete | |
| MATH 031 Calculus II | MI 1010 Calculus I AND MI 1020 Calculus II AND MI 2010 Arithmetical Method Equivalent only if sequence is complete | |
| MATH 032 Calculus III | MI 1010 Calculus I AND MI 1020 Calculus II AND MI 2010 Arithmetical Method Equivalent only if sequence is complete | |
| MATH 133A Ordinary Differential Equations Community College math courses articulated with SJSU's Math 133A will meet course content requirements for the major but will not receive upper division credit. | MI 1040 Differential Equations and Series 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, 71 and 72 (equivalent to PHYSICS 50, 51, 52, 53) 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 | PH 1010 General Physics I AND PH 1020 General Physics II Equivalent only if sequence is complete | |
| PHYS 051 General Physics/Electricity and Magnetism | PH 1010 General Physics I AND PH 1020 General Physics II Equivalent only if sequence is complete | |
| PHYS 052 General Physics/Heat and Light | PH 1010 General Physics I AND PH 1020 General Physics II Equivalent only if sequence is complete | |
| PHYS 053 General Physics/Atomic Physics NOTE: if there is no transfer equivalent for Physics 53 the transfer student will need to complete this requirement at SJSU. | PH 1010 General Physics I AND PH 1020 General Physics II Equivalent only if sequence is complete | |
| OR | ||
| PHYS 070 Mechanics | No Current Equivalent | |
| PHYS 071 Electricity and Magnetism | No Current Equivalent | |
| PHYS 072 Atomic Physics | No Current Equivalent | |
Engineering Rquirements: | ||
| CMPE 046 Computer Engineering I | No Current Equivalent | |
| ENGR 010 Introduction to Engineering | No Current Equivalent | |
| EE 097 Introductory Electrical Engineering Laboratory | EE 3580 Experiment of Electronic Subject in EE | |
| EE 098 Introduction to Circuit Analysis | EE 3010 Electric Circuit Theory I OR EE 2010 Electric Engineering AND ET 2010 Electronics Engineering | |
| ENGL 001B Composition 2 <i>A "C" or better is required in English 1B (a "C-" is not acceptable). English 1B is required of all Engineering majors.</i> | No Current Equivalent | |
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.
