Hello and welcome to the California State University general education
transfer requirements tutorial. My name is Anthony Morris, Academic Advisor here
at College of the Canyons and today, yes, we're gonna learn how to navigate the
California State University general education requirements. Now this general
education pattern is designed for students who intend on transferring
primarily to the California State University system. Although there
are some privates and out of states that will accept the CSU GE, this is primarily
designed for students who want to go to a CSU.
So as you can see each area is split up starting with "Area A" we call your
English language, Communication, and Critical Thinking, and you can see there
are three subcategories in here that we all have to satisfy. Your A-1, A-2, and
A-3. So A-1 is your Oral Communication, so I'm gonna put a "1" there which means we
need to complete one class from the Oral Communication. In A-2, we need to complete
one class from the Written Communication. For most of you it's going to be the
English 101. In A-3, that's going to be your critical thinking requirement.
And once you satisfy all three of those you have completed your Area-A. Alright!
Let's keep moving. Area B, your Science Inquiry and Quantitative Reasoning:
So, you have 4 sub-categories in here. You have B-1, which is your Physical
Science; B-2, your Life Science; B-3, is your Laboratory Activity; and B-4 is your
Mathematics and Quantitative Reasoning. We need one class in each, okay? So we
need one in the Physical Science. We need one class to come from a Life Science,
and one of those two Physical or Life Sciences must be accompanied by a
corresponding Lab Activity, okay? So don't forget to complete a Laboratory Activity.
One quick side note, keep in mind that some classes automatically
attach that Laboratory Activity, mandatory in a sense, to the course. So it
just really depends on what class that you enroll in you may automatically have
the lab attached to the course, okay? Then down here to B-4, we need one class in B-4
which is your Mathematics and Quantitative Reasoning. Then after
you complete that, that is all done for Area B, okay? Your Science Inquiry and
Quantitative Reasoning. Let's move on down to Area C- your Arts and Humanities;
9 semester units in this area, so typically three classes here. So we need
one class to come from your C-1: Arts. So you need one class from the Arts. In C-2,
we need one class from the Humanities, and then you need one more class; and
that class can come from either the Arts or Humanities subcategory. So it's your
choice we'll let you choose on that one, okay?
Alright, so let's keep moving on down to Area D, your Social Sciences. 9 semester
units, or nine units in this area. Which means three classes; and three classes
from at least two different subcategories. And, sometimes students ask
me, "Anthony, what do you mean by subcategories?" Well, all of these topics
in here are designated as subcategories, okay? So say for example I was a
Psychology major; I can get credit for two Psychology classes in this
subcategory. But, maybe I took more than two Psych classes. Well, I'm not gonna
actually get credit for more than two in this area, that means I will have to
satisfy one more class in another subcategory, okay? Hope I made that clear.
Alright, let's continue down to Area E, your Lifelong Learning and
Self-Development. We need three units in this area, so I'm switching it up a
little bit. The reason why I'm breaking it down to units in this area
is because we do have some one unit Dance Activity and Physical Activity
classes in here that you can earn credit for. But, you are limited to only
two units. So, if you were using those units you would still have to satisfy
one more. So keep that in mind, or you can simply just complete one three unit
class in this area, and you would be all done, okay? All right that's it for Area E.
And then last, but not least, let's go down to the bonus; I like to call it the
bonus. It's your American Institutions, so the American institutions is actually
not required to transfer to the California State University. However, it
is required for graduation from COC if you are earning a native or stand alone
Associate Degree. And, it's also required if you want to graduate from the
California State University. So nine times out of ten, I find that many
students complete the American Institutions while they're here at
College of the Canyons. You have two options on how to satisfy that. Your
first option is what's designated in the blue dotted box. You can choose one class
from this long list of history courses, and that would be one class. And then you
would also have to satisfy the Political Science 150 along with that, and those
two classes would satisfy your American Institutions. Your second option would be
to complete both History 111 and 112- located in the green dotted box. If you
complete those two courses that will also satisfy your American Institutions,
and the best thing about this is, all your classes in American Institutions
can fall in other areas. They can fall in your Area C or D as well. That's your
Humanities or your Social Sciences, when available. One last note before I
conclude. Make sure as you identify your major courses or your core courses for
transfer, that you understand that these classes, your major classes, can also fall
into your General Education, when available. So always keep that in mind as
you plan your courses. If you have any other questions, please visit us
in the counseling office; and thank you so much for participating in this
tutorial. Happy Navigating!
