Notes

  • For the AS-T in Biology, students must follow IGETC (CSU) for STEM.
  • See ASSIST.ORG for the transfer requirements for the institution to which you plan to transfer. 
  • Please Note: If planning on transferring to a four-year college or university, it is highly recommended to complete your science series courses (e.g. Biology 400, 410, 420) at the same community college. Series splitting could jeopardize the acceptance of your coursework at certain college and universities. Please see a counselor for additional information.
  • A transferable elective is defined as any class with a course number between 300 and 499. Electives may vary for the CSU and UC systems. 
  • U.S. History/American Ideals is a graduation requirement for all CSUs. 
  • Foreign Language may be required for CSU Sacramento IF student did not complete 3 years in high school. This requirement may vary at different colleges. 
  • Some English and Math courses have support courses (co-requisites). See your assessment results for more details.
