It is important that students who are completing an Associate Degree and desire to transfer to a four-year institution meet with a counselor to plan their lower division coursework. While many majors at SRJC are intended to align with lower division major preparation required by California public universities, specific lower-division major requirements vary among individual campuses. See a counselor, visit the Transfer Center, and check Guides For Transfer in Specific Majors, and ASSIST to review transfer preparation guides for specific schools and majors.

Notes:

CHEM 60 and BIO 10 are prerequisites to the Anatomy, Physiology, and Microbiology courses. Prerequisite science courses without an on campus laboratory component will not be accepted.

Because basic algebra is recommended for chemistry, students without basic algebra skills are advised to take Elementary Algebra. The department recommends that students meet the math competency requirement for the Associate Degree prior to entering the program.

Food & Nutrition and Psychology courses must be completed PRIOR to start of the program.

Beginning with the class of Fall 2009, only college transferable reading and composition courses (English 1A or equivalent) will be accepted to fulfill the English prerequisite requirement. English 100 and English 100 ESL will no longer be accepted. This change is effective for students who apply Fall 2008 for the Fall 2009 ADN program.

Prior to being accepted into the ADN program students must successfully complete a background check, clear urine drug screen, and other clinical placement health requirements. For specific guidance on qualification requirements and selection process please refer to the ADN web page available at: adn.santarosa.edu.

All courses taken in conjunction with this program must be completed with a grade of 'C' or better. (A C minus in prerequisite courses will not be accepted if the C minus is less than 70%.)
