================================================================================
====Computer Science, B.S.====
Note: This major accepts the AS-T in Computer Science (SB 1440 degree) for
transfer. We recommend transfer students complete the following courses, which
are required for the Computer Science major at SJSU, as part of their AS-T in
Computer Science. We strongly encourage students to take courses which clear
the American Institution requirement and a second course in English composition
as part of their CSU GE or IGETC requirements for the AS-T degree (doing so will
increase greater choice in the 60 units of SJSU course work to be taken after
transfer).

All courses articulated with MATH 129A can be used to satisfy the MATH 129A
requirement. All courses articulated with MATH 032 may be used to satisfy the
BS requirement for MATH 032 or MATH 142 or MATH 161A. However, transferring
students who satisfy both of these requirements with community college or other
lower division courses will be able to use only upper division courses as
electives toward the BS degree, due to the BS requirement of 34 units of upper
division mathematics and computer science courses. In particular, such students
may not use a community college course in Unix as a BS elective even if it is
articulated with CS 072.

Computer Science, B.S. (continued)
Many students prefer to satisfy this additional course requirement after
transferring to SJSU, because of the possibility of satisfying this requirement
and another graduation requirement with a single course. Several SJSU courses
will satisfy both this requirement and an upper-division GE requirement (see
target="_blank">http://www.cs.sjsu.edu/Programs/bs_in_cs/requirements/CS_require.html#5).
And CS 120A, Laboratory Electronics for Scientists I, satisfies this
requirement and also counts as an elective upper division Computer Science
course for the major.

able to count a 49C equivalent toward the BSCS, unless this course is also their
46A equivalent. A single course in Java is unlikely to be equivalent to CS 49J.
Students whose 46A and 46B equivalents use Java may need to take CS 49C at SJSU
if they have not completed an equivalent of this course.

Please note that the Support for the Major and Requirements in the Major
sections of the requirements for the BS - Computer Science at SJSU must include
at least 34 units of upper division mathematics and computer science coursework,
excluding CS 100W and CS 110L. Therefore if you choose to take all of your lower
division course work at the community college, including courses articulated to
Math 032 and Math 129A (for content credit only), then you must take an upper
division CS elective at SJSU rather than CS 072.

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:

IMPORTANT TRANSFER INFORMATION
______________________________:
Prior to transferring to San Jose State University all transfers must earn at
least 60 transferable semester units (90 quarter), including the CSU four basic
skill courses required for CSU admission eligibility. Within those 60
semester/90 quarter units students are strongly encouraged to complete the
following:
1. Lower Division Major Course Requirements (especially for STEM Majors):
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.
2. 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 Jose State
University.
3. 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:
http://testing.sjsu.edu
4. 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.
