Course-by-course articulation

Also listed in this agreement

ASSIST lists these Foothill College courses under this major without naming a single UC Irvine 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 1C + CHEM 1B
• CHEM 1C + CHEM 1B + CHEM 1A
• PHYS 4A
• PHYS 4B

Verify this list on ASSIST.org before you register: choose Foothill College as your sending institution, UC Irvine as the receiving institution, and Materials Science and Engineering as the major. ASSIST is the only official source, and agreements change between catalog years.
