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 | ||||||||||
Lower Division Course Requirements: Please note the comments concerning the additional course in Science below. | |||||||||||
Support for the Major: | |||||||||||
| MATH 030 Calculus I | Math 71 Calculus I with Analytic Geometry (*) | ||||||||||
| OR | |||||||||||
| MATH 030P Calculus I with Precalculus | No Current Equivalent | ||||||||||
| MATH 031 Calculus II | Math 72 Calculus II with Analytic Geometry (*) | ||||||||||
| MATH 032 Calculus III | Math 73 Multivariable Calculus | ||||||||||
| MATH 042 Discrete Mathematics | Math 70 Discrete Mathematics | ||||||||||
| MATH 129A Linear Algebra I | Math 79 Linear Algebra (*) CONTENT CREDIT ONLY | ||||||||||
| All courses articulated with MATH 129A can be used to satisfy the MATH 129A requirement. All courses articulated with MATH 032 may be used to satisfy the BS requirement for MATH 032 or MATH 142 or MATH 161A. However, transferring students who satisfy both of these requirements with community college or other lower division courses will be able to use only upper division courses as electives toward the BS degree, due to the BS requirement of 36 units of upper division mathematics and computer science courses. In particular, such students may not use a community college course in Unix as a BS elective even if it is articulated with CS 072. | |||||||||||
Physics Requirement: | |||||||||||
| PHYS 050 General Physics/Mechanics | Phys 4A General Physics | ||||||||||
| OR | |||||||||||
| PHYS 070 Mechanics | No Current Equivalent | ||||||||||
| and | |||||||||||
| PHYS 051 General Physics/Electricity and Magnetism | Phys 4B General Physics | ||||||||||
| OR | |||||||||||
| PHYS 071 Electricity and Magnetism | No Current Equivalent | ||||||||||
| Computer Science majors must complete one additional course of three (3) units or more in science. This course may be upper-division or lower-division. Any courses equivalent to the following may be used to satisfy this science requirement: | |||||||||||
| BIOL 001A Foundations of Biodiversity | No Current Equivalent | ||||||||||
| or | |||||||||||
| BIOL 001B Foundations of Cell Biology & Physiology | No Current Equivalent | ||||||||||
| or | |||||||||||
| PHYS 052 General Physics/Heat and Light | Phys 4C General Physics | ||||||||||
| or | |||||||||||
| General Chemistry Equivalent Transfer Course 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. | Chem 1A General Chemistry OR Chem 1B General Chemistry | ||||||||||
| Many students prefer to satisfy this additional course requirement after transferring to SJSU, because of the possibility of satsifying this requirement and another graduation requirement with a single course. Several SJSU courses will satisfy both this requirement and an upper-division GE requirement (see http://www.cs.sjsu.edu/Programs/bs_in_cs/requirements/CS_require.html#5). And CS 120A, Laboratory Electronics for Scientists I, satisfies this requirement and also counts as an elective upper division Computer Science course for the major. | |||||||||||
Requirements for the Major: | |||||||||||
| CS 046A Introduction to Programming | No Current Equivalent | ||||||||||
| CS 046B Introduction to Data Structures | No Current Equivalent | ||||||||||
| CS 047 Introduction to Computer Systems | No Current Equivalent | ||||||||||
| CS 049C Programming in C | CIS 54 C/C++ Programming | ||||||||||
| OR | |||||||||||
| CS 049J Programming in Java | No Current Equivalent | ||||||||||
| Students whose 46A and 46B equivalencies do not use the Java language will likely need to take CS 49J at SJSU. A single course in Java is unlikely to be equivalent to CS 49J. Students whose 46A and 46B equivalents use Java may need to take CS 49C at SJSU if they have not completed an equivalent of this course. | |||||||||||
Elective Computer Science Course: | |||||||||||
| CS 072 Unix and Unix Utilities | CIS 157 Introduction to UNIX | ||||||||||
| Please note that the Support for the Major and Requirements in the Major sections of the requirements for the BS - Computer Science at SJSU must include at least 36 units of upper division mathematics and computer science course work, excluding CS 100W and CS 110L. Therefore if you choose to take all of your lower division course work at the community college, including courses articulated to Math 032 and Math 129A (for content credit only), then you must take an upper division CS elective at SJSU rather than CS 072. | |||||||||||
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 | |||||||||||
| 2nd English Composition Equivalent Transfer Course | ENGL 1C Critical Thinking/Composition | ||||||||||
| A course articulated to SJSU's English 1B is recommended, however any course approved for the IGETC second semester English composition area would be accepted to meet this requirement (a grade of "C" or better is required). | |||||||||||
LDTP Approved Courses (*) | |||||||||||
| The following San Jose City College courses are approved for the following LDTP course descriptors shown on the right. | |||||||||||
| |||||||||||
| LDTP courses are acceptable "in lieu of" each other. | |||||||||||
| LDTP courses are not necessarily "equivalent" or "identical" in content. | |||||||||||
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 - up to six semester units (8 qtr) taken to meet the Amer Inst requirement, may also be used to satisfy the lower division general education requirements.
Physical Education Requirement (2 courses) - at least 2 different activities.
