This agreement was captured automatically and has not been reviewed by a person. Check it against the official ASSIST agreement before relying on it.
Admission reality
Major-level transfer admission data is published for University of California campuses. CSU Monterey Bay is outside that dataset, and Cherrypicker does not substitute figures from anywhere else.
Cherrypicker does not estimate anyone’s chance of admission, and never will. Historical outcomes are context, not a prediction.
Planning reality
Counts over the courses ASSIST maps for this pathway. Every figure is a plain count with one definition — there is no score or ranking here.

Where this path usually starts

Agreement year 2025-26, captured from ASSIST. Verify against the official agreement and confirm with a counselor before making transfer decisions.
The other FHDA college
Foothill College has its own ASSIST agreement for this major. It is a separate agreement with its own courses and its own source — not an extension of the De Anza College one, and the two are never combined on this page.
Whether a course taken at one college satisfies the other college’s requirements is a separate question from articulation. Confirm with a counselor before relying on it.

Common questions
Which De Anza College classes count toward CSU Monterey Bay Communication Design B.S., Game Design & Interactive Media Concentration?
ASSIST's 2025-26 agreement maps 5 CSU Monterey Bay requirements to De Anza College coursework. The full list, including every alternative, is in the major preparation section above.
Does this page guarantee my courses will transfer?
No. It shows what the published ASSIST agreement between De Anza College and California State University, Monterey Bay says for 2025-26. Agreements change by catalog year, and your own record can differ. Confirm with a counselor and with the official agreement before you rely on it.
Can I take these courses at Foothill instead?
Sometimes — but it is a separate question with a separate answer. The other college has its own ASSIST agreement for this major, with its own courses and its own source, linked in the section above. Cherrypicker never merges the two.
How current is the class availability on this page?
Section and seat information reflects the district's published Fall 2026 class data, refreshed roughly every 15 minutes, and the page carries the exact time it was last updated. Always confirm in the official registration system before enrolling.
Spot something wrong?
Articulation, prerequisites, course details and class availability all come from sources that change. If something here does not match the official record, tell us and we will fix it — corrections from students and staff are the fastest way this stays accurate.
