CSU General Education Pattern

2004 California State University General Education Requirements and Associate Degree Option B

 

CSU regulations state that to earn a Bachelor’s Degree, each student must complete at least 48 units of General Education. Of these 48 units, 9 units must be upper division completed after reaching Junior standing and after transferring to the four-year institution. Some CSUs require additional GE units; check the catalog of the State University of your choice after you have decided upon a major. For advice and assistance, see a counselor. Students having 56–60 transferable semester units with a “C” average (2.0) will be eligible to transfer to a California State University providing a minimum of 30 units in GE, including all of Areas A and B4, is completed with grades of “C” or better. 60 units are required for admission to San Diego State. Other CSU campuses may give admissions priority to transfer students who have completed 60 units. By Fall 2005, all CSU campuses will require 60 units. SRJC courses numbered 1–99 will transfer to the CSU for units. Santa Rosa Junior College will certify completion of 39 units of the 48 unit General Education requirement for graduation from the CSU. To be fully certified, students must complete 9 units in each area of A, B, C, and D and 3 units in Area E. No more than 30 lower division units will be certified from Areas B, C, and D combined. Students admitted to a CSU campus with full certification may not be held to additional lower division GE requirements. Students admitted to a CSU campus with subject-area certification may not be held to additional lower division GE course work in the subject areas certified. San Diego State requires full certification for admission. Completion of the CSU General Education Pattern (eligible for full certification of 39 units) is one option (Option B) in meeting the General Education requirements toward earning an Associate in Arts or an Associate in Science Degree at Santa Rosa Junior College. If not satisfied with the General Education evaluation by the California State University after transfer and after consulting the CSU evaluator, be sure to contact the SRJC Transfer Center at 527-4874 or the Articulation Office at 527-4275. NOTE: In addition to courses in General Education, major courses may be needed prior to transfer. Check with a counselor.
