Associate Degree General Education 2024-2025: Option 2 (California State University General Education)
To earn a Bachelor’s degree from the California State University, each student must complete 48-51 semester units in general education. Nine to twelve of these units must be taken as upper-division course work after transfer. Orange Coast College will certify the extent to which the lower-division General Education Breadth Requirements (GE) have been met for students meeting the following A-F pattern.
Students seeking GE transfer certification are eligible for a Certificate of Achievement award.
Any one course may be used to satisfy only one required sub-area (i.e. if Communication Studies A110 is used to satisfy sub-area A1, it may not be used to satisfy sub-area C2), with the exception of Area B where lab courses taken to meet the B3 requirement will also count in B1 or B2. A cross-listed course (the same course listed under more than one department such as History A150 and Ethnic Studies A150) may be used to meet only one requirement.
Important Note: Courses on this list are approved for a specific academic term. Students wishing to use a course to meet a CSU General Education Breadth requirement must be sure that the course is approved for the academic term in which it is taken.
This list is valid only for courses taken Fall 2024 through Summer 2025.
For courses taken prior to Fall 2024, students should check the master list which shows the dates that courses were added or deleted since the original list was published in 1991. This list is available in the Counseling Center or Transfer Center in Watson Hall.
