I have taken a course at another institution that I
think is the equivalent to a CSUSM prerequisite
[Education 350, 364, 422]. How do I find out for sure?
The College of Education at CSUSM
maintains a list of faculty approved course
equivalencies taken at regional institutions ( approved
out-of-state coursework is not added to the list of
equivalencies) for our prerequisite courses [Education
350, 364, 422]. Please call
760/750-4277 or email
coessc@csusm.edu to discuss a possible
prerequisite equivalency.
