Moorpark College General Education Requirements

Moorpark College’s General Education (MC GE) plan is based on Title 5 requirements of the California Educational Code and District policy. This Pattern is not intended to prepare students for transfer and cannot be used with an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT).

Majors at Moorpark College for which students may complete Moorpark College’s GE plan include: 

California State University General Education-Breadth (CSU GE-Breadth)

Completion and certification of the CSU GE-Breadth pattern will fulfill the lower-division general education requirements of all CSU campuses in most majors. There are some majors or colleges within CSU campuses for which CSU GE-Breadth is not the appropriate preparation. Refer to your intended campus and major at www.assist.org and/or consult with a counselor for guidance. The CSU GE-Breath will also satisfy GE requirements for local AA/AS Degrees.
