What is the Ethnic Studies requirement and how does it affect me?
Ethnic Studies offers students the opportunity to study the historical development and social significance of race and ethnicity in the United States and to develop the skills and knowledge necessary for success in an increasingly diverse environment. The ES requirement, which is mandated by law and the CSU system, requires all students in the Fall 2021 catalog year and later to take 3 units of Ethnic Studies within General Education.
Learn more about the ES requirement.
What is my catalog year and why is it important?
The CSU and CSUF occasionally modify graduation requirements. Often, these changes can happen in the middle of your academic journey here at CSUF. Understanding your catalog year ensures you abide by your graduation requirements.
