Roadmap Notes

# SOCI 162 meets SJSU Studies Area S

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.

A minor is strongly recommended and the “University Electives” can be used to complete a minor at SJSU after transfer.
