| 1 | ENG 114 can only be taken if you complete Directed Self-Placement (DSP) and select ENG 114; if you select 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 Students who pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics with Concentrations in Liberal Arts, Teaching, or Advanced Studies must complete 12 units of Complementary Studies, within a coherent group of courses with a prefix other than MATH, and not cross-listed with MATH. Complementary Studies units for the Mathematics major may come from:
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. |
| 6 | Major Electives Two elective MATH courses numbered 400 or above except MATH 475, MATH 565, MATH 575, MATH 576, MATH 577, and MATH 578. |
