CSU General Education Breadth (CSU GE Breadth) Requirements
and CSU GE Breadth for STEM

Completion of all the requirements in the CSU General Education Breadth (CSU GE Breadth) meet lower-division general education requirements at a California State University (CSU) without the need after transfer to take additional lower-division general education courses.

CSU GE Breadth for STEM is a separate CSU GE Breadth track available for students planning to major in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics. CSU will only accept CSU GE Breadth for STEM if a student is earning an Associate of Science for Transfer (AS-T) in Biology, Chemistry, or Environmental Science. Students will be required to complete additional lower-division general education courses upon transfer to the CSU

All courses must be completed with grades of "C" or better. Courses appearing in more than one area may be used to satisfy only one area.
