Transfer Contemporary Studies 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
  • Whether or not you need to take additional courses to meet the CSUMB Language ULR as a Graduation Learning Outcome (This pathway assumes you have met the language requirement prior to your first semester at CSUMB. If not, you will need to add additional courses in consultation with your major advisors.)
  • Students who have not taken the prerequisite coursework in all Musicianship and Theory courses can take an assessment test to measure their musical skills, and, with a satisfactory grade on that test, have the requirement waived.
  • Actual availability of courses during a given semester
  • Personal choices you make in your Individual Learning Plan in consultation with your advisors

 

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.
