SJSU Articulation

Navigation

Main Content

Course-to-course articulation does not mean that a course will also receive General Education Certification. GE Certification is campus specific, meaning that the student will receive GE certification in the area for which the course was certified on the campus where he/she took the course. (For example, Anthropology 001 at Foothill Community College articulates with Anthropology 012 at San Jose State University. However, Anth 001 meets Area D at Foothill and Anth 12 meets Area B2 at SJSU. If the student takes Foothill's Anth 001 he/she gets Area D credit and if he/she takes SJSU's Anth 12, he/she gets Area B2 credit.).

San José State University has transfer course agreements with over 130 California schools.
