Upper-Division C Courses (300-400) - Arts and Humanities (Category C) - GE Approved Courses
The following courses are approved to meet the General Education requirements indicated.
Please note the following in reviewing these approved course lists:
- Major courses and campus-wide required courses that are approved for GE credit shall also fulfill (double count) for GE requirements for students entering in Fall 2018.
- Refer to the online schedule of classes to see which courses are being offered for a specific term and to double check which GE requirements the course satisfies during that term.
- Be aware that the GE Category (A-E) requirements must each be satisfied by a unique course. The "Other GE Categories" column below may indicate additional categories a course is certified in but does not mean that the course will meet more than one category requirement for an individual student.
- Additional General Education Requirements should be met by courses also meeting the GE Category requirements to minimize the number of units needed.
- Comments are added to the course lists below to highlight changes in the approved active GE course lists.
See Previous Courses to research courses that previously met GE requirements. - Students should regularly run their Academic Requirements Report on MyCSULB to monitor their completion of all degree requirements including General Education.
