Transfer Students
Are you interested in transferring to SSU and joining the CS major? We have articulation agreements in place for many lower-division courses from community colleges across California and for some upper-division courses from various CSU and UC campuses. You may contact the department chair about the transferability of any non-articulated courses, which need department review.
The figure and table below each highlight lower-division courses in the B.S. CS program at SSU. If you are a transfer student, you may be able to take any (or all) of these at junior colleges prior to transferring, and are encouraged to use this page as a guide in discussions with your advisor.
