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.
