Notes & Assumptions
- College-credit substitutions for AHS must be confirmed with a MiraCosta AHS counselor.
- ACCT 158 does not replace Algebra; take MATH 64/103 for HS + AA math.
- BIO 101 guarantees AHS Life Science and AA lab science; NUTR 105 alone may not.
- Residency (20 HS credits at MiraCosta) will be satisfied across 2025–2027 GE.
