Course-by-course articulation

Also listed in this agreement

ASSIST lists these De Anza College courses under this major without naming a single UC Merced course they map to — usually because they sit inside a “choose from the following” group. They are part of the agreement, so treat them as in scope and check the exact grouping on ASSIST.

• CHEM 1A + CHEM 1B
• CHEM 1A + CHEM 1BH
• CHEM 1AH + CHEM 1B
• CHEM 1AH + CHEM 1BH
• PHYS 4A
• PHYS 4C + PHYS 4B

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