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 more information, contact your advisor.
