These pathways do not include previous high school or college coursework that may provide additional transferable units or fulfill transfer requirements. Part-time students or students that need to adjust their plans will need to confer with a counselor in formulating a pathway plan for their individual needs. Students must review their plan with a counselor to ensure proper completion of graduation requirements that meet the degree requirements. Please consult with discipline faculty & counselors in Career Services for more accurate regional career information.
