Roadmap Notes

* If students are unable to obtain an internship to satisfy the Field Experience requirement (NUFS 192 ), students need to enroll in PKG 168 - Advanced Laboratory Testing to satisfy this requirement. Students will still need to enroll in NUFS 192 . Prerequisites for PKG 168 are PKG 158 and PKG 146 .

** NUFS 9 meets General Education Area E requirements and NUFS 139 requires passage of the WST and corequisite of NUFS 100W ; meets SJSU Studies Area R.
