Las Positas College to SDSU
Economics Transfer Plan
Las Positas College clears every course SDSU wants for the Economics B.A., and it matches two different calculus paths. ECON 2 and ECON 1 cover macro and micro, and only MATH 1 carries a listed prerequisite, MATH 39 or MATH 21.

Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
Two ways to clear the math requirement
MATH 33 with MATH 34 satisfies SDSU's MATH 120 option, and MATH 1 alone satisfies MATH 150. Take whichever fits your other coursework; you only need one.
STAT C1000 is your only stats option here
Las Positas doesn't match ECON 201 or STAT 250, but STAT C1000 already clears SDSU's stats requirement through the STAT 119 option, so that's all you need.
MATH 1 needs MATH 39 or MATH 21
MATH 1, the Calculus I match, lists MATH 39 or MATH 21 as its prerequisite at Las Positas. MATH 33 with MATH 34 is the other accepted route to SDSU's math requirement.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Las Positas ECON 2 transfer to SDSU as ECON 101?
Yes. ECON 2, Principles of Macroeconomics at Las Positas College, satisfies SDSU's ECON 101 requirement for the Economics B.A. major prep.
What SDSU Economics prep does Las Positas not cover?
ECON 201 and STAT 250 have no direct Las Positas match, but STAT C1000 already clears the stats requirement through SDSU's STAT 119 option, so nothing required is missing.
Which calculus classes count at Las Positas for SDSU Economics?
Either MATH 33 paired with MATH 34, or MATH 1 alone. Both satisfy a different accepted SDSU math option, so pick whichever matches your schedule.
Is Las Positas College a local admission area for SDSU?
No. SDSU's local admission priority covers a set of San Diego-area colleges, and Las Positas, in the East Bay, isn't part of it.

Related Transfer Plans
Las Positas College offers a clean route to San Diego State University for an Economics, B.A., with ECON 2 and ECON 1 covering macro and micro and CIS 50 covering information systems. On the math side, Las Positas matches both MATH 33 with MATH 34 and MATH 1 on their own, giving you two separate ways to clear SDSU's calculus requirement. Transfermatic maps out both paths so you can pick the one that fits your other classes.
