I’m a Senior high school student wanting to get my Bachelors at SJSU in aerospace engineering, once I’ve completed community college.
Currently, I am deciding on attending Foothill College, but am unsure if getting my Engineering Associate degree at Foothill will count toward my credits at SJSU. I’ve used the assist.org website, but I am unsure about the situation with lower division courses that I need in order to fulfill the requirements for SJSU.
Can anyone clarify if its possible for me to transfer from my CC to SJSU into Aero, or are there courses I will be missing that will hinder my transfer?
Any advice or information is greatly welcomed!
Also,
Assist.org says that I will receive "Content Credit Only " and “Community College math courses articulated with SJSU’s Math 129A will meet course content requirements for the major but will not receive upper division credit.”.
Does this mean I have to take courses to make up for this?
It means that you will be counted as having completed SJSU Math 129A (linear algebra), but the units will not be counted as upper division units for whatever purpose. http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/narr/schedules/rec-19923.19996.20057.20063.html does say that at least 40 semester units of course work must be upper division for a bachelor’s degree at SJSU. However, SJSU AE requires at least 50 units of specified upper division AE courses, according to http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/catalog/departments/AE-section-1.html , so not having that math course count as upper division units does not matter for AE.

Note that Foothill is on the quarter system; 1 quarter unit = 2/3 semester unit, or 1 semester unit = 1.5 quarter unit. I.e. you need 90 quarter units at Foothill to be equivalent to 60 semester units at SJSU.
