CERTIFICATE and DEGREE PROGRAMS
Individual department curriculum sheets for certificate and degree programs are available in the Counseling and Advising Center and at deanza.edu/academics/degrees-and-certificates. Division offices often have the information available as well.
Students transferring to another college should complete as many of that college’s requirements as possible. Articulation agreements between De Anza and California public four-year institutions are available on the web at assist.org. Students should also contact a counselor or adviser for program planning from the catalog of the desired transfer institution and maintain regular contact prior to transfer.
