CSU GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS IN U.S. HISTORY, CONSTITUTION AND AMERICAN IDEALS
Not part of the CSU GE certification requirements, but may be completed prior to transfer. Courses used to meet this requirement may also be used to satisfy other requirements for CSU GE.

If your goal is to complete an AS-T in Biology or Chemistry, please see a counselor for information on CSU GE for STEM. The CSUGE Breadth for STEM is only approved for the Associate in Science in Chemistry for Transfer Degree and the Associate in Science in Biology for Transfer Degree. This pattern allows students to defer completion of one course from CSUGE Area C and one course from CSUGE Area D until after transfer. Students earning the AS-T in Chemistry or Biology with this pattern must complete the following before transfer:
- All required courses in Areas A, B, E, and F
- One (1) course in Area C1 - Arts
- One (1) course in Area C2 - Humanities
- One (1) course in Area D - Social Sciences
When a course is approved for CSU GE, it applies for certification starting with the year of approval and ending when it is removed.
Students who have maintained continuous enrollment at a California Community College or CSU or combination of the two that started before Fall 2021 may use the previous pattern:
Complete nine units in at least two disciplines in Area D and no Area F requirement.
**"C-" or better is required for courses passed along from other colleges.
