General Education Appendix
The following is the General Education program for students enrolled under 1998-1999 or earlier catalogs. (See the appropriate catalog for greater detail.)
The 1998-1999 General Education Program requires students to complete a minimum of 51 semester units. This includes 18 units minimum in CORE, 27 units minimum in BREADTH, and 9 upper-division units minimum, of which 6 units are in CAPSTONE. The 9 upper-division units can be taken no sooner than the term in which 60 units of coursework are completed. Also, 9 units must be taken in residence at California State University, Fresno.
Because the goal of General Education is to provide a solid foundation with a broad scope and the goal of the major is to provide depth in a specific discipline or program, the following stipulations apply:
- A CORE course also may be applied to a student's major requirement unless the department specifically prohibits it.
- A maximum of two General Education courses from one department or program may be applied to satisfy BREADTH requirements. (However, a department or program may prohibit any General BREADTH Education course from simultaneously satisfying its own departmental or programmatic requirements.)
- Courses used to satisfy may not be used to satisfy requirements for the major.
