California State University (CSU) General Education Breadth Requirements
2024-2025
Transfer Information
This pattern is designed for the student planning to transfer to the California State University system. Southwestern College will certify course work completed at another California community college or any institution that participates in certifying general education course work to the CSU, including a CSU campus other than the one to which the student is transferring, only if the courses are on the approved CSU general education list at the college where they were completed. Such a course will be certified in the general education breadth area that is shown on the official certification list for the institution at which it was taken.
When course work has been taken at a regionally accredited institution that does not maintain a CSU certification list, Southwestern College can certify the course work provided that Southwestern College faculty determine that the course work is equivalent to course work on the approved Southwestern College general education breadth list. Any category of required general education courses not completed at the time of certification will have to be fulfilled according to the requirement of the transfer institution. Students who desire to transfer to one of the 23 California State University (CSU) campuses must complete 48 units of general education breadth courses, of which nine shall be at the upper-division level. Southwestern College can certify only the 39 lower-division units of general education breadth courses.
CSU GE Breadth for STEM
CSU-GE Breadth for STEM is only approved for 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 Biology with this pattern must complete the following before transfer:
- all required courses in Areas A, B, E and F
- one course in Area C1, Arts,
- one course in Area C2, Humanities, and
- one courses in Area D, Social Sciences.
It is recommended that students consult with a counselor to determine which general education pattern is most appropriate for their individual educational goals.
ATTENTION: 2024-2025 is the last catalog year for the California State University General Education (CSUGE) Breadth. Consult with an academic counselor regarding catalog rights.
Effective 2025-2026 (next year's catalog), the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) is the singular general education pathway for California Community College (CCC) students to fulfill lower-division general education necessary for transfer and admission to both the California State University (CSU) and the University of California (UC).
