Course Options - No Prereqs The following courses do not have any prerequisites. This alternate list of courses can be used by advisors to help students develop a complete schedule (15 credits) when a student has already completed numerous credits prior to attending SDSU.

To this end, we encourage all students to complete 15 credits each semester. This list indicates a variety of 1- and 2-credit courses that are applicable to a majority of SDSU students and will help you compile a full course schedule. In some cases, these courses meet major requirements. Those courses that do not meet a specific requirement for your major will count as electives that contribute to the credits needed to complete your degree. The course list will be updated prior to registration each semester. Please consult with your advisor about which course(s) will be the best fit for you. http://www.sdstate.edu/gs/students/advising/student-success.cfm
