-
Area D was reduced by 3 units (it was 12 units, now it is 9 units).
-
Minimum C- grade for oral communication, written communication, critical thinking
and mathematics/quantitative reasoning.
-
9 semester units of upper division GE may be taken at any CSU (not only at CSUSM).
-
Double counting! Major courses and campus-wide required courses that are approved
for GE credit shall also fulfill (double count for) the GE requirement.
-
While upper-division GE courses continue to be generally restricted to students who
have completed 60 semester units or more, at a minimum, students must satisfactorily
complete A1, A2, A3, B4 (“golden four”) in order to use an upper division GE course
for purposes of graduation.
-
CSUSM honors GE credit for courses completed at other CSU campuses.
GE courses may be taught in all modalities (e.g., face-to-face, online, and hybrid).
Intermediate Algebra is no longer a specific prerequisite for B4 courses; courses
in this GE subarea shall include a prerequisite reflective only of skills and knowledge
required in the course.
-
CSUSM will provide sufficient sections of A2 written communication and B4 mathematics/quantitative
reasoning courses to support completion of these requirements within the first year
of freshman enrollment.
-
Area C will include a 3-unit language requirement.
