GENERAL STUDIES TRANSFER PLAN
To Azusa Pacific University from Orange Coast College
This transfer plan is to be used as a guide for traditional undergraduate students wishing
to transfer to Azusa Pacific University. Completion is not required for admission to APU.
This is not an articulation agreement but a tool to aid students in knowing which courses
APU will accept to fulfill General Studies requirements. It is the student’s responsibility to
see that all of the requirements are met upon completing their degree at APU.
Note: Some departments include specific General Studies courses as part of the major requirements.
Please check with the current APU catalog for your major’s current requirements. Due to the degree’s
specific requirements, this is not for use by those pursuing a B.A. in Liberal Studies or any Bachelor’s of
Music (B.M.) degree.
IGETC/CSU GE
APU accepts the completed IGETC or CSU GE certification as fulfilling the lower division APU General
Studies program requirements. However, the student will need to complete these provisions as part of or in
addition to their completed IGETC or CSU/GE certification.
•
•
•
Students will need to meet the foreign language requirement of 2 semesters of the same language
at the college level
Students will need to meet the Health Education and Fitness for Life requirements
Students will need to complete a math course from the Mathematics department with at least a prerequisite of Intermediate Algebra.
All APU students will be required to complete the requisite number of biblical studies and upper division
elective courses. In the cases of both the CSU GE and IGETC, the certification must be complete, and the
certification must be obtained from the respective community college before the student matriculates to
APU. Students who do not receive full certification will be evaluated by standard course-to-course
articulation and will follow the APU General Studies program.
