This curriculum applies to students entering PBSC for a future transfer to FAU, and is divided into three sections: Lower Division Non-Technical, and Lower Division Technical from PBSC, and an Upper Division Program from FAU.
This curriculum is subject to change. For the most current information, students should check with department advisors at PBSC and FAU.

* Additional general education and program pre-requisite courses needed for transfer.
** MAC 2311 has prerequisites of MAC 1114 and MAC 1140 or MAC 1147. These courses in turn have a prerequisite of MAC 1105. All need to be completed with a grade of C or higher prior to enrolling in this course.
[1] A maximum of 8 credit hours will be accepted at FAU for the Physics sequence with lab. This course could be used towards PBSC's science general education requirements – This also applies to PHY 2049 and PHY 2049L.

Note: The lower division credit hours listed above will count toward the PBSC A.S. degree and will transfer directly into the Bachelor of Computer Science degree program at FAU. If a student must take additional math courses prior to becoming eligible for the initial Calculus course, those courses will count toward the A.S. degree, but will be over and above the prescribed number of hours for the Bachelor's degree program. The A.S. degree assures that the student has met the Gordon Rule requirements of the State University System. Palm Beach State College graduates will still need to comply with the FAU degree-wide graduation requirements.
