Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
6 SDSU requirements have no Moorpark match
Moorpark lists no course for the CS 150, CS 150L sequence, the CS 160, CS 160L sequence, CS 210 and CS 240 and others. Check SDSU's Computer Science page for whether they have to be done before you transfer, and plan where you'll cover them.
Start with MATH C2210 and MATH M25A
MATH C2210 and MATH M25A sit at the start of their sequences for this route, so they fit your first semester, next to ENGL C1000 for English composition.
More than one way to cover MATH 150
For SDSU MATH 150, Moorpark accepts MATH M25A or MATH M25AH. You need only one of them, so pick whichever fits your schedule.
