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 Transfer Course (or CHEM 1A taken at SJSU) | Chem 1A General Chemistry OR Chem 1B General Chemistry | |
| Note: SJSU requires completion of the Chemistry sequence for most majors, however this major only allows completion of one semester equivalent General Chemistry, in lieu of CHEM 1A. | ||
| MATH 030 Calculus I | Math 3A Analytical Geometry & Calculus I | |
| MATH 031 Calculus II | Math 3B Analytical Geometry & Calculus II | |
| MATH 032 Calculus III | Math 4A Intermediate Calculus | |
| 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. | Math 4B 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, 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 | Phys 4A Engineering Physics - Mechanics | |
| PHYS 051 General Physics/Electricity and Magnetism | Phys 4B Engineering Physics - Electricity & Magnetism | |
| PHYS 052 General Physics/Heat and Light | Phys 4C Engineering Physics - Light & Heat | |
| 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. | Phys 4D Engineering Physics-Atomic | |
| 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 | Engr 30 Introduction to Computing for Engineers | |
| ENGR 010 Introduction to Engineering | Engr 10 Introduction to Engineering | |
| EE 097 Introductory Electrical Engineering Laboratory | Engr 24L Introduction to Circuit Analysis Lab | |
| EE 098 Introduction to Circuit Analysis | Engr 24 Introduction to Circuit Analysis | |
All students must satisfy the following prerequisite (or equivalent) prior to registering for the WST and 100W courses at SJSU {Academic Senate policy S05-8}: | ||
| ENGL 001B Composition 2 A "C" or better is required in English 1B (a "C-" is not acceptable). | Engl 1B English Composition | |
| or | ||
| Second Semester English Composition Equivalent Transfer Course | ENGL 1C Clear Thinking in Writing OR PHIL 3 Introduction to Problems in Ethics OR PHIL 17 Logic & Critical Thinking | |
| A course articulated to SJSU's English 1B is recommended, however any course approved for the IGETC second semester composition area would be accepted to meet this requirement (a grade of "C" or better is required). | ||
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.
