Plan B: CSU General Education Requirements

Plan B is designed primarily for students who will transfer to a California State University (CSU) campus and are not interested in attending a University of California campus. Students may use this plan to combine completion of both the Associate of Arts general education requirement, with one caveat, and the CSU General Education Certification pattern. Students should see a counselor for advice on selecting the A.A. general education plan that in combination with a major will best match their educational and career goals.

To earn an Associate of Arts degree using Plan B, students must complete a minimum of 60 degree applicable units with an overall grade point average of “C” (2.0) or higher, which must include the specified general education requirements and designated courses for a major. The Health and Wellness Proficiency requirement must be completed (See description in Plan A).

However, a student may not use Plan B to fulfill the Math Proficiency Requirement for a local, regular (non-AAT/AST) degree if they have taken FIN 125M Personal Finance, Personal Finance. They would have to meet one of the criteria specified in the Math Proficiency Requirement section for Plan A. Students should consult with a counselor if they have questions about this.

If a student wishes only to transfer and is not seeking an A.A. degree, there are no proficiencies required for CSU GE certification. Credits from international transcripts will not be used to certify general education requirements for transfer. Please see a counselor for more information.

It should be noted that completion of the CSU General Education Certification is not required for admission to the CSU nor is it the only way to fulfill the lower division general education requirements. Depending upon the student’s major, it may be advantageous to complete the requirements of the specific campus the student plans to attend.

California State University General Education Certification Requirements

A maximum of 39 units is required to fulfill the CSU lower division general education requirements, with the units to be distributed as follows: Nine (9) units in Area A; nine (9) units in Areas B, and C; six (6) units in Area D; three (3) units in Area E; and three (3) units in Area F.

A letter grade of “C” or higher is required in Oral Communication, Written Communication, Critical Thinking, and Mathematical Concepts.
