San José State University -to- Skyline College
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 | |
| In order to be successful in this major you must complete the following articulated courses prior to transfer, earning grades of "C" or better on the first attempt. Students who struggle to achieve this should strongly consider selecting a different major. | ||
Preparation for the Major: | ||
| General Chemistry Equivalent Transfer Course (or CHEM 1A taken at SJSU) | Chem 210 General Chemistry I OR Chem 220 General Chemistry II | |
| Note: This major only requires completion of one semester or two quarters of General Chemistry in lieu of CHEM 1A taken at SJSU. | ||
| MATH 030 Calculus I | Math 251 Calculus & Analytical Geometry I | |
| MATH 031 Calculus II | Math 252 Calculus & Analytical Geometry II | |
| MATH 032 Calculus III | Math 253 Calculus & Analytical Geometry III | |
| 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 275 Ordinary Differential Equations CONTENT CREDIT ONLY | |
| PHYS 050 General Physics/Mechanics | Phys 250 Physics with Calculus I | |
| PHYS 051 General Physics/Electricity and Magnetism | Phys 260 Physics with Calculus II | |
| PHYS 052 General Physics/Waves, Light, Heat | Phys 270 Physics with Calculus III | |
| Students must complete the following courses with a "C" or better to graduate: EE 097, EE 098. All other required courses in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics require a "C-" or better to graduate. | ||
Lower Division Requirements of the Major: | ||
| ENGR 010 Introduction to Engineering | No Current Equivalent | |
| EE 097 Introductory Electrical Engineering Laboratory | No Current Equivalent | |
| EE 098 Introduction to Circuit Analysis | No Current Equivalent | |
| CMPE 046 Computer Engineering I | No Current Equivalent | |
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}. | ||
| Once the following course requirement is completed (earning a grade of C or better), students should contact http://testing.sjsu.edu to register for the WST exam at SJSU. Passing the WST prior to your first semester at SJSU will prevent delays in registering for upper division courses: | ||
| ENGL 001B Composition 2 A "C" or better is required in English 1B (a "C-" is not acceptable). | Engl 110 Composition, Literature & Critical Thinking OR Engl 165 Critical Thinking & Advanced Composition | |
| or | ||
| 2nd English Composition Equivalent Transfer Course | PHIL 109 Critical Thinking & Writing | |
| 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). | ||
IMPORTANT TRANSFER INFORMATION:
Prior to transferring to San José State University all transfers must earn at least 60 transferable semester units (90 quarter). Within those 60 semester/90 quarter units students are strongly encouraged to complete the following:
1. General Education Requirements:
Complete all the CSU GE Breadth requirements at the community college (39 semester units/58 quarter units). The approved courses for each area can be found at www.ASSIST.org under the link "CSU GE-Breadth Certification Courses" for your college. Many of these courses can be double counted to meet the major requirements shown above, so choose your courses wisely. 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.
2. Second Semester English Composition:
Complete the second semester English composition course (or equivalent) as it is a prerequisite to registering for the WST and 100W courses at SJSU. Students must earn a grade of "C" or better in this course (a "C-" is not acceptable). Approved courses can be found above within the lower division major requirements. Be sure to select this course as part of your CSU GE-Breadth 39 semester unit requirements. Once this course is complete, students are encouraged to take the WST exam at SJSU to avoid delays in enrollment for other SJSU required courses. To register for the WST contact our Testing office at testing.sjsu.edu.
3. American Institutions Requirement (US 1, US 2, and US 3 must be completed):
This requirement is normally 2 courses and can be taken as part of your CSU GE-Breadth 39 semester unit requirements (GE Area D and sometimes Area C). The approved courses can be found at www.ASSIST.org under the link "CSU US History, Constitution, and American Ideals Courses" for your college.
4. Physical Education Requirement:
Two courses are required and must include at least two different activities. Completion of these courses will clear the graduation requirement at SJSU.
5. Lower Division Major Course Requirements:
Complete as many of the lower division courses required for the major as possible. Many of these courses may be double counted as part of the CSU GE-Breadth 39 semester unit requirements. These requirements are shown above.
