1Course Equivalency is for Taft College Major ONLY as transfer credit may differ from course credit and units granted by a transfer institution. For courses with an equivalency, units not used to meet GE Area may be used in Major.
2These exams satisfy the Math competency requirement.
3These exams satisfy the Reading competency requirement, the Written Expression competency requirement, as well as the course requirement for Information Competency.
4These exams satisfy the American History and Institutions course requirement.
Class substitutions for AA-Transfer Degrees are under review and are not guaranteed.
