CHAFFEY COLLEGE GENERAL EDUCATION
2018-2019
All students receiving an associate degree shall complete a pattern of general education coursework. Some associate degrees permit the use of the
Chaffey College General Education pattern and other degrees, mostly those that provide transfer preparation, require the California State University
General Education – Breadth (CSU GE-Breadth) pattern or the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) pattern. The specific
general education pattern required for each degree is specified in the “Programs of Study” area in the Chaffey College catalog. Students should consult
with a counselor to determine which general education pattern is most appropriate for their educational goals.
Students who are qualified to be certified for the CSU GE-Breadth pattern or the IGETC pattern also fulfill the Chaffey College General Education pattern.
While a course might satisfy more than one general education requirement, it may not be counted more than once for these purposes. Except where
noted in the “Programs of Study” section, a course may be double-counted and used to satisfy both a general education requirement and a major or area
of emphasis requirement.
