| 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 | To determine the best B4 course option, students should complete the online advising activity at mathadvising.sfsu.edu. Questions? Contact Gator Smart Start. |
| 3 | QR Category III students with a grade of B or higher in high school pre-calculus in the past year may be able to enroll in MATH 226. Please see a department advisor. |
| 4 | To avoid taking additional units, it is recommended that you meet the SF State Studies (AERM, GP, ES, SJ) requirements within your GE or major. |
| 5 | Complementary Studies Students in the B.A. Math program will satisfy the Complementary Studies requirement with the completion of courses in general education life sciences, general education physical sciences, upper-division science, and computer programming as required for the major. |
| 6 | Consider taking a class combined with a laboratory or a separate lab to fulfill B3 if not already satisfied. |
| 7 | Major Electives Two elective MATH courses numbered 400 or above except MATH 475, MATH 565, MATH 575, MATH 576, and MATH 577. |
| ± | Given catalog rights, fall 2022 transfer students do not need to complete an Area F course. |
