Upper Division General Education Requirements

Upper Division General Education Requirements

All students (including transfers) must complete 9 units of upper division GE from the Approved list of GE Courses. Upper Division Courses are available in the following GE Categories:

• Implications and Explorations in Natural Sciences and Mathematics (B5)
• Explorations in the Arts and Humanities (C3)
• Explorations in the Social Science (D5)
• Lifelong Learning (E)
• Cultural Diversity (Z)

Although all students must meet graduation requirements, students are unique as to how they meet these requirements and design their own education. For example, you may already have earned credit for your Cultural Diversity requirement from your transfer classes.  Please consult your Titan Degree Audit (TDA) for more information on your upper division GE coursework.

Remediation Requirements

---

Remediation courses are not college level and do not count toward the degree.

The freshman "year" is defined as the fall and spring term and does not include the summer following the spring term. If a student fails to complete the remedial coursework in the freshman year, the student will not be allowed to register for classes until the remedial work and/or the college level composition or math course is completed. Please refer to the ILE Website for further clarification. First-time freshmen who must take either remedial English or mathematics courses must complete their remedial work in the freshman year.
