Freshman Degree Pathway

Pathway View

These pathways serve as tools, not prescribed programs of study. Before enrolling, you can use them to get a feel for what you can do in this program. After enrolling, you and your advisors can use them as a starting point for building your personalized outcomes-based ILP.

This pathway, intended as a reference, shows a productive route to graduation in four years. Your actual pathway may not 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 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.
