How about Advanced Placement U.S. History?

A score of 3, 4 or 5 will mean you don't need to take a U.S. History course at SFSU. You already get college credit for it! Make sure that SFSU gets your College Board transcript. Contact collegeboard.com and request the scores be sent to Admissions.



US Government

Advisor's note: The courses above meet U.S. Government and are lower division options. There are other options, but we do not recommend them to freshmen in the first semester, since the courses are upper division. You may take them at a later time.

AAS 205: Asian Americans and American Ideals and Institutes

Gatoraider Words

PLSI 200: American Politics

Gatoraider Words - BSS Community Theme Option


How about Advanced Placement U.S. Government?

A score of 3, 4 or 5 will mean that you do not need to take a U.S. Government course at SFSU. You already get college credit for it! Make sure that SFSU gets your College Board transcript. But you do need to take 1 course to meet California State and Local Government. So you could choose one of the classes above to do this. Contact collegeboard.com and request the scores be sent to Admissions.
