Requirements as Determined by Entry Status

Entering as a Freshman

If you enter CSUMB as a freshman, you must fulfill all requirements while at CSUMB.

Entering as a Transfer Student

If you transfer from a community college or another university, the specific requirements depend on your status when you enter CSUMB.

Transfer Students with Fully Certified GE Breadth Requirements

If you transfer from another California institution with fully certified GE Breadth Requirements or the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC), you automatically satisfy the 10 University Learning Requirements that align with GE. You still need to satisfy the Graduation Learning Outcomes with no less than nine semester credits at the upper-division level, all major requirements, and the minimum semester credit requirements. No more than 39 semester credits of GE credit certified by other institutions will be applied to the 10 GE ULRs at CSUMB.

Transfer Students Without Fully Certified GE Breadth Requirements

If you enter CSUMB without having fully certified all GE Breadth Requirements or the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC), you must complete all unmet GE Breadth Requirements through the corresponding University Learning Requirements. CSUMB Admissions & Records certifies which ULRs you have met through transfer work based on our ULR/GE Alignment table. You also need to satisfy the Graduation Learning Outcomes with no less than nine semester credits at the upper-division level after achieving upper-division status, all major requirements, and the minimum semester credit requirements.
