CSU GE-Breadth, Certificate of Achievement
CSU GE-Breadth, Certificate of Achievement
The Certificate of Achievement in CSU GE-Breadth recognizes completion of the California State University (CSU) lower-division general education requirements. CSU GE-Breadth is a series of courses that California community college students can complete to satisfy most freshman/sophomore level general education requirements in preparation for transfer. Separate from CSU GE-Breadth certification, the Certificate of Achievement is a state-approved award that is given by the college, documented on a student’s transcript, and qualifies a student to participate in the annual graduation ceremony.
Completion and certification of CSU GE-Breadth will permit a student to transfer from a California Community College to a California State University generally without the need, after transfer, to take additional lower-division, general education courses to satisfy campus general education requirements.
To earn the Certificate of Achievement in CSU GE-Breadth, students must:
- Complete a minimum of 39 semester units in CSU GE-Breadth Areas A-F as specified. Each course must be a minimum of 3 semester units.
- Complete all courses with a grade of “C” or better or “P.” A “C” grade is defined as a minimum of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale. A “C-“ grade valued at less than 2.0 grade points on a 4.0 scale cannot be used for the Certificate of Achievement, though it can be used towards CSU GE-Breadth certification.
- Achieve a cumulative grade point average of no less than 2.0 in all college coursework applicable to the Certificate of Achievement.
