Human Communication B.A. ~ General Freshman Pathway

Because CSUMB is outcomes-based, this chronological pathway lists each target outcome first either as an MLO (Major Learning Outcome) or ULR/GLO (University Learning Requirements / Graduation Learning Outcomes). It then shows courses aligned with those outcomes along with credits and an indication of when they are offered. For more information on a course?including title, credits, description, and prerequisites?click its number. For more information on an outcome, click on its abbreviated name.

This pathway, intended as a reference, models graduation with 120 credits with 3 credits of unspecified electives. It is unlikely that your actual pathway will look exactly like the model due to several factors:

  • Any required remedial courses such as MATH 098 and WRT 095
  • Actual availability of courses during a given semester
  • Personal choices you make in your Individual Learning Plan?in consultation with your First Year Seminar professor, and lower-division and major advisors?including the decision to pursue more than the minimal learning requirements

You must earn nine upper-division General Education credits after you have reached upper-division status. Upper-division GE courses taken when you are a lower-division student do not count toward this requirement. Upper-division courses approved to satisfy the Culture and Equity ULR or service learning requirement , upper-division Tech Tools (HCOM 300L), and upper-division language courses count toward this requirement. See your advisor for precise planning.
