California Community College BSCS Equivalencies

Please Note:

• LDTP students are automatically exempt from CS 46A, 46B, and 47; Math 30, 31, and 42; and Phys 50 and 51. In other cases, students are exempt from an SJSU course listed here if (1) they took a course that was articulated with the SJSU course in the semester that they took it, or (2) they took a community college course that was listed as an acceptable equivalent on the version of this form that was current in the semester that they took the course. Note that courses listed in parentheses are not automatically acceptable in satisfaction of the SJSU course, unless they qualify under one of the above conditions. Normally these courses are either courses that were formerly acceptable, or courses that we at SJSU discourage in favor of Java-based courses.

• For equivalent courses from schools not listed above, or in other subject areas, see
  http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/artic/all-course-to-course.html

• All courses require a grade of C- or better.

• Students planning to count any of the community college courses listed here toward the BSCS degree at SJSU should fill out a Course Equivalency Form in their first semester at SJSU. It is not enough just to take these courses without filling out this form.

• DeAnza and Foothill are on the quarter system; the other colleges are on the semester system.

• * Community college courses in linear algebra and in assembly language do not count toward the upper division unit minimum for the B.S. in Computer Science.

• ** SJSU uses Java in CS 46A and CS 46B. A course does not need to use Java to be equivalent to CS 46A or CS 46B. But note that knowledge of Java equivalent to that of CS 49J is needed to succeed in CS 146 and CS 151 at SJSU. And note that a single course in Java does not normally provide this knowledge.
