CSU General Education Breadth Requirements
Students wishing to transfer to California State Universities should follow this plan.
Requirements for graduation from the California State University System include completion of specific courses in general education. Cypress College is permitted to certify that a student has satisfied the lower division 39-unit general education requirements established by the California State University System.
Under the provisions of Title 5 and Executive Order 1065, regionally accredited colleges and universities may certify one or more subject areas for students being admitted to the CSU system, a.k.a. partial certification. Students admitted to a CSU campus with subject area or partial certification should not be held to completing additional courses for the areas already certified.
In order to be partially certified, Cypress College students must complete all the CSU lower-division General Education Breadth Requirements in a specific area. Students who have completed courses at other regionally accredited colleges and universities may “pass along” those courses for either partial or full certification at Cypress College. To meet general education requirements and obtain full certification, students must complete the pattern of courses in the five categories listed.
Students should apply for certification during or after the semester in which they are completing General Education Breadth Requirements. Students are advised to request certification prior to enrolling at the university due to varying CSU campus partial certification policies that may prohibit the certification from being granted.
CSU Certification policy specifies that a course or sequence of courses used to satisfy a requirement in one area, may not be used to satisfy a requirement in another area. Students should talk to a counselor for more information. Some state universities will also not allow students to count courses in their major field as part of general education requirements.
Courses on this list are approved by the CSU Chancellor’s Office for a specific academic year; that is, a course must be on the list when the course is taken in order to be certified. Check with a counselor and review the catalog of the individual state university for further clarification.
Apply for GE certification through the Admissions and Records Office or online at www.CypressCollege.edu during the semester in which requirements will be completed or thereafter. Note: Students applying for completion of an approved Associate Degree for Transfer at Cypress College requiring CSU GE and/or IGETC do not need to apply.
The courses on the following CSU GE Breadth Requirements page are approved for the current academic year. Check with a counselor or www.assist.org for the most recent list of approved courses.
NOTE: Independent universities or out of state universities may accept the CSU GE pattern. Check with the individual university and your counselor to verify.
CSU GE Breadth for STEM Majors
Per CSU Executive Order 1100, students pursuing certain Associate Degrees for Transfer may be eligible to take GE Breadth for STEM, deferring two lower-division GE courses until after transfer. GE Breadth for STEM is applicable only to majors in which the Transfer Model Curriculum explicitly indicates the availability of the option. Note: As of Fall 2016, only the Biology ADT (not currently offered at Cypress) and Chemistry ADT (active Fall 2016) have this option.
California Colleges preparing a “CSU GE Breadth for STEM” certification as part of an Associate Degree for Transfer should ensure that the student has completed:
- All courses in Areas A, B, and E of the traditional GE Breadth curriculum; and
- One course in Area C1 Arts and one course in Area C2 Humanities; and
- Two courses in Area D from two different disciplines
Therefore, a student can defer completion of one course in Area C and one in Area D for after transfer. See a counselor for details.
