Transfer Pathway

Pathway View

This pathway, intended as a reference, models graduation after earning 60 credits at CSUMB. It is unlikely that your actual pathway will look exactly like the model due to several factors:

  • The number of credits you transfer into CSUMB with, and how those credits articulate with CSUMB requirements
  • Actual availability of courses during a given semester
  • Personal choices you make in your Individual Learning Plan – in consultation with your major advisors – including the decision to pursue more than the minimal learning requirements

You may need to add an extra semester or two if you choose to participate in a yearlong CSU-sponsored study abroad program. This varies with the program selected. GS faculty members try to ensure that, if you select a yearlong study abroad program, you will fulfill at least three MLOs in addition to the language requirement during that time.

For mor information, contact your advisor.

Courses by Requirement

Degree requirements are considered a guideline for graduation, and cannot replace the feedback of an academic advisor. Learn more about degree requirements at CSUMB.

Course units may only be counted once, when a course meets multiple requirements, the letter 'C' means that the completed course units were counted elsewhere.
