California State University General Education (CSU GE Breadth)
Certificate of Achievement
Program Details
This certificate allows the student to complete Certification of General Education Requirements for the California State University (CSU) system. To meet general education requirements and obtain certification, students must complete the pattern of courses in the categories listed. Certification is not automatic. Students must apply for GE certification through the Admissions and Records Office by the published deadline during the semester in which requirements will be completed or thereafter. The course must be on the current CSU GE-Breadth list when it is taken in order to be used to meet a requirement. Students should refer to the Fullerton College CSU GE-Breadth Certification List on www.assist.org to verify that a course was valid during the semester when it was taken. A course or sequence of courses used to satisfy a requirement in one area may not be used to satisfy a requirement in another area. Some universities will not allow students to count courses in their major field as part of general education. Students should check with a counselor and review the university catalog for further clarification. This certificate requires 40-55 units in courses from the areas listed below.
