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:
The one unit of LIR 10 also satisfies the Area I, Option A General Education (G.E.) requirement.
If the Math graduation requirement has not been satisfied within the G.E. units, it is a separate and additional requirement.
Transfer students are strongly encouraged to complete G.E. option B or C.
