• MATH 1B + MATH 1BH
• MATH 1C + MATH 1CH

Verify this list on ASSIST.org before you register: choose De Anza College as your sending institution, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo as the receiving institution, and Physics as the major. ASSIST is the only official source, and agreements change between catalog years.
