Basic Science Foundation (38 semester units)
The lower division courses listed here may
also be taken at regional community colleges. Please visit the site www.assist.org to find articulation agreements
between CSUN and other campuses. If you take classes at another campus,
this web site will help you make sure you are taking the 'right' class.
We have prepared suggested study plans for freshman and upper division transfer
students here.
