CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY GENERAL EDUCATION
CERTIFICATION AND CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT REQUIREMENTS
The CSU General Education Breadth (CSU GE-B) is a 39-unit general education program that allows California Community College
students to fulfill lower-division GE requirements for the CSU. At least
60 TRANSFERABLE UNITS of Major and General Education courses
are required for transfer. Transfer students should: (1) meet with a counselor to create an EDUCATIONAL PLAN that will assist in
identifying appropriate major and GE requirements; (2) request an CSU GE-B CERTIFICATION (when final transcripts are requested) to
be sent to the transfer institution; and (3) with a counselor’s assistance, determine eligibility for an Associate’s Degree and/or an
Associate’s Degree for Transfer. FULL CERTIFICATION (completion of all areas), PARTIAL CERTIFICATION, and CSU GE-B FOR STEM
CERTIFICATION (for BIO AS-T only) are available.
Completion of this pattern also satisfies requirements for a Certificate of Achievement.
All courses are three (3) units unless otherwise noted.
