Admission reality

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.

Sections offered at Foothill College this term for the courses listed in this agreement. Open one to see instructors, meeting times and CRNs.

Not scheduled at Foothill College this term: PHYS 2B. A course can still be part of the requirement and offered in a later quarter.

Enrollment availability changes frequently. Confirm status in the official FHDA registration system before enrolling.

Where this path usually starts

Ranked by how central each course is to the agreement — whether it is the only option for a requirement, how many requirements it covers, and whether it is running now. This is Cherrypicker’s ordering of published requirements, not advice about your situation, and it does not know your transcript.

The other FHDA college

De Anza 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 Foothill 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.
