How do I know if the introductory political science course I took elsewhere is the equivalent of SDSUs Pol S 101 or Pol S 102?
While some community and junior colleges offer direct equivalents to all of SDSU’s major preparation (lower division) courses, you must be particularly careful with Pol S 101 and 102. This is because many schools only offer one “introductory” course, and the course numbers may be different (or even reversed!). Thus when you arrive at SDSU and discover that here you will need to take both 101 and 102, you may not know which course you already took and which to take next. DO NOT make the mistake of just “guessing” and proceeding with one or the other — if you guess wrong, you will lose the units! If you took only one introduction to political science course, and you do not know if it is the equivalent of 101 or 102, normally you must wait until the transcript evaluators have determined transfer credit (usually during your first semester). If you cannot wait for that determination, log on to www.assist.org (the web-based clearinghouse for articulation agreements among all California inst
