Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
6 SDSU requirements have no Moorpark match
Moorpark lists no course for a SDSU choose-1 requirement, NURS 202, NURS 206 and NURS 208 and others. Check SDSU's Nursing page for whether they have to be done before you transfer, and plan where you'll cover them.
Start with CHEM M11 and ANAT M01
CHEM M11 and ANAT M01 sit at the start of their sequences for this route, so they fit your first semester, next to ENGL C1000 for English composition.
CHEM M11 starts a 2-semester chain
CHEM M11, then MICR M01 each need the one before, so the chain takes 2 semesters at minimum. Begin CHEM M11 early.
