| 1 | ENG 114 can only be taken if you complete Directed Self-Placement (DSP) and select ENG 114; if you choose ENG 104/ENG 105 through DSP you will satisfy A2 upon successful completion of ENG 105 in the second semester; multilingual students may be advised into alternative English courses. |
| 2 | Depending on courses completed through Early Start, students in Pathway/Category III or IV may be required to enroll in a support course to complement their Quantitative Reasoning/B4 requirement. There are multiple course options for this pathway. Before enrolling in a B4 course, students should verify their MATH Pathway/Category in their Student Center. Information regarding the courses that correspond with your MATH Pathway/Category can be found on the Developmental Studies Office Website. |
| 3 | To avoid taking additional units, it is recommended that you meet SF State Studies requirements (AERM, GP, ES, SJ) within your GE or major. |
| 4 | Consider taking a class combined with a laboratory or a separate lab to fulfill B3 if not already satisfied. |
| 5 | Complementary Studies
DS 312 Data Analysis with Computer Applications (3 units) DS 408 Computer Simulation (3 units) ECON 101 Introduction to Microeconomic Analysis (3 units) (D1) ECON 301 Intermediate Microeconomic Theory (3 units) ECON 302 Intermediate Macroeconomic Theory (3 units) FIN 350 Business Finance (3 units) ISYS 363 Information Systems for Management (3 units) ISYS 463 Information Systems Analysis and Design (3 units) ISYS 464 Managing Enterprise Data (3 units) ISYS 650 Business Intelligence (3 units) PHIL 205 Formal Logic I (3 units) PHIL 350 Philosophy of Science (3 units) (UD-B) PHIL 351 Philosophy of Risk (3 units) (UD-B, ES) PHIL 694 Philosophical Logic Workshop (3 units) PHIL 695 Advanced Logic Workshop (3 units) Students who have earned AA-T or AS-T degrees and are pursuing a similar B.A. degree at SF State are required to fulfill the Complementary Studies requirement as defined by the major department. Students should consult with a major advisor about how transfer units and/or SF State units can best be applied to this requirement in order to ensure degree completion within 60 units. |
