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:
Math, Chemistry, Physiology, Biology and Microbiology courses require placement exams or successful completion of pre-requisite courses prior to enrollment; check individual courses for specific requirements and timelines for placement exams. Completion of pre-reqs for the required science and math courses for this major are CRITICAL during the FIRST semester of enrollment if a student wants to complete within 4 semesters.
