Students will develop critical thinking skills, learn to communicate effectively in writing, and acquire an understanding of major concepts, issues, and diverse viewpoints. Through course options, students will use mathematical concepts to solve problems, employ methods of scientific inquiry to understand the world around them, and investigate the arts, humanities and social and behavioral sciences.\n\n### Certificate of Achievement\n\n#### California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC):\n\nA Certificate of Achievement will be granted to students who complete a minimum of 34 units to fulfill the Cal-GETC pattern requirements.\n\nNote: To receive full certification of the Cal-GETC pattern, a grade of C or better is required in each course. Certification means that El Camino College has verified that students have completed the lower division general education requirements for Cal-GETC. Students must request certification in the Admissions Office.\n\nNote: Completion of the Cal-GETC requirements alone is not enough to make students eligible for admission to a CSU or UC. Please consult with a counselor for details for completing transfer admission requirements.\n\n**Total Units: 34**"
