Transfer pathways that use MATH 11

ASSIST maps MATH 11 to a requirement in 127 published pathways from De Anza College — 24 shown.

The other FHDA college

The district declares these courses cross-listed with MATH 11. That is a district equivalence, recorded in the colleges’ own course data — it is not an ASSIST articulation, and whether it satisfies a particular transfer requirement is a separate question shown on the pathway pages.
