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 | Chem 1A General College Chemistry OR Chem 1B General College 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 1 Analytical Geometry and Calculus | |
| MATH 031 Calculus II | Math 2 Analytical Geometry & Calculus II | |
| MATH 032 Calculus III | Math 3 Multivariable Calculus | |
| MATH 123 Differential Equations and Linear Algebra Community College math courses articulated with SJSU's Math 123 will meet course content requirements for the major but will not receive upper division credit. | No Current Equivalent | |
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 8A General Physics I | |
| PHYS 051 General Physics/Electricity and Magnetism | PHYS 8B General Physics II | |
| PHYS 052 General Physics/Heat and Light | PHYS 8C General Physics III | |
| OR | ||
| PHYS 070 Mechanics | PHYS 8A General Physics I | |
| PHYS 071 Electricity and Magnetism | PHYS 8B General Physics II | |
Engineering Requirements: | ||
| CMPE 030 Programming Concepts and Methodology | No Current Equivalent | |
| OR | ||
