WHAT ARE THE "GENERAL EDUCATION-BREADTH REQUIREMENTS"?
The California State University faculties believe that students who are graduated from their institutions should have
participated in two primary educational experiences. One of these is defined as a "major," meaning the primary subject area of
the student's course work. The other is defmed as "general education," meaning a broad experience with subjects other than the
"major" of the student's choice. This requirement of the California State University comes from the belief that a truly educated
person is one with some familiarity with many aspects of knowledge, not just one.
HOW DO I COMPLETE THE GENERAL EDUCATION-BREADTH REQUIREMENTS AT CHABOT COLLEGE?
TherequirementsvaryfromcampustocampusintheCalifomiaStateUniversity,butaresimilar.Afewofthemareintended
to be completed after you transfer, but most are intended to be completed during your freshman and sophomore years at Chabot
College. If you complete the requirements as suggested on the reverse of this page, you will make a smooth transfer to the fouryear school. Of course, you must also complete any requirements for your major as well, andif"major"requirements are included
in the lists for "general education" courses, they can usually be included in the sixty units suggested for completion. If you lack
the required general education courses you should have completed at Chabot College, your graduation from the four-year college
will probably take longer than it should.

If you complete more than the number of suggested units in one or more of the various categories, they will count as
transferable units, but will not make up for deficiencies in other areas or add to the total of 60 units that is suggested for completion
in the freshman and sophomore years.
A total of 84 transferable units is the minimum needed for Junior standing. Students not originally qualified to enter a
California State University as freshmen must complete 84 transferable units with a 2.0 grade point average before transfer.
