The intent of the degree is to assist students in seamlessly transferring to a CSU. However, transfer requirements at four-year colleges and universities tend to vary from institution to institution; students should consult with a counselor for specific information regarding the transfer requirements of their preferred college or university.\n\nThis degree requires students to meet the following requirements:\n\n-   Completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units of degree-applicable courses,\n-   Minimum overall grade point average of 2.0,\n-   Minimum grade of “C” (or “P”) for each course in the major, and\n-   Completion of Cal-GETC.\n\nThis degree requires students to complete 60 CSU transferable units including completion of Cal-GETC and 26-29 units in the major with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better. Title 5 requires that students must earn a “C” (or \"P\") or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis. There are no additional graduation requirements. Students should consult with a counselor when planning to complete the degree for more information on university admission and transfer requirements."
