Computer Science, BS (2024-2025) (AS-T Computer Science)

The AS-T in Computer Science guarantees 60 transferable units and the completion of all lower division Core GE. This transfer degree will meet the CS 46A , CS 46B , CS 47 , MATH 30 , MATH 31 , MATH 42 , PHYS 50 , and PHYS 51 requirements at SJSU.

Below is the path to the BS in Computer Science degree in 60 semester units for students with the AS-T in Computer Science. A grade of “C-” or better is required for courses being used to meet any requirements in the major, including major preparation courses.

This roadmap has an approved P.E. waiver.

Roadmap Notes

A minimum of 40 upper division units must be completed for degree. This roadmap is a sample pathway. Check with a major advisor regarding the most appropriate course sequence for you. 60 units minimum will be transferred with this degree, however up to 70 transfer units can be applied to the lower division and lower division free electives if articulated.

** All students must complete 37 units of upper division Math and Computer Science coursework (excluding CS 100W ). See your Computer Science advisor for more information.
