General Education Program 

General Education: Blocks for building, not for jumping over

"Why do I have to take GEs when they have nothing to do with my major?"

At Cal State Fullerton, we believe that general education is the foundation of a university education, providing students with core skills that will not only benefit them in their specialties, but also serve them well as they advance in their career.

The General Education Program at CSUF is designed to give students a breadth of knowledge and understanding across the major disciplines of science, social science, arts, and humanities, while also helping them develop skills such as critical thinking and writing, enhance their capacity for lifelong learning, and strengthen their ability to contribute effectively within our culturally diverse society.
