Course-by-course articulation

Also listed in this agreement

ASSIST lists these Foothill College courses under this major without naming a single UC Santa Barbara 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

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