2019 GE Approved Courses: Category C
Arts and Humanities: Category C
The following courses are approved to meet the General Education requirements indicated. Please note the following in reviewing these approved course lists:
- 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.
The following courses cultivate the intellect, imagination, sensibility, and sensitivity. It is meant in part to encourage students to respond subjectively as well as objectively to experience and to develop a sense of the integrity of emotional and intellectual response. Students should be motivated to cultivate and refine their affective as well as cognitive and physical faculties through studying great works of the human imagination, which could include active participation in individual esthetic, creative experience. Equally important is the intellectual examination of the subjective response, thereby increasing awareness and appreciation in the traditional humanistic disciplines such as art, dance, drama, literature, and music. The arts disciplines of film and design are also included in this category. Therefore courses in this category address the cultural and aesthetic context of the experience. The requirement should result in the student’s better understanding of the interrelationship between the creative arts, the humanities and self. Studies in these areas include exposure to both Western and non-Western cultures.
