Choose the Right Classes to Transfer to a Cal State University
In most cases, you will complete both general education (GE) and major courses to meet the 60.0 CSU transfer units needed for admission.
How many GE and major units each student completes may vary and will depend on the campuses you will apply to and the major you plan to pursue.
Create an Ed Plan
All students are encouraged to meet with a 91果冻制片厂 counselor to complete a Comprehensive Ed Plan (CEP) which will include all the best classes to take to reach your transfer goal.
General Education
Students must complete at least 30.0 units of general education (GE) to qualify for transfer, but completion of an entire GE pattern is frequently recommended.
Students planning to apply to CSU have two options for completing GE.
- California State University General Education Breadth (CSU GE-B) which is a good option for students applying only to CSU campuses.
- Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum for CSU (IGETC) which can be used at both the CSU and University of California (UC) campuses.
Major Courses
In general, most CSU campuses do not review for major preparation as part of the admissions decision. However, students are encouraged to complete as much of the lower-division major preparation courses for their program as possible. This will help you graduate as quickly as possible after transfer.
The website lists what major courses are needed to transfer to your CSU of choice in your particular major.
