General EducationGeneral Education7. Passing scores on some Advanced Placement and CLEP exams canfulfill GE requirements. See “Transfer Credit Evaluation” on page 95 and anevaluator or advisor in SSC 120 for specifics.Underlying all the University’s programs is the conviction that an educated person is one who knows that which is important for all peopleto know. Courses required for your major may prepare you for yourvocation; the General Education program provides you the integrativeintellectual experience common to all Chico graduates.General Education (GE) will help you to see your major’s place in yourtotal education by showing you that knowledge is not isolated, that whatyou know of one subject is related to what you know of another, that thereis always more to know, and that what you know affects the way you live.By suggesting the essential unity and wholeness of knowledge, GE counteracts the sense of fragmentation you may feel while studying bits andpieces of issues and information through the various colleges, schools,and departments of the University.You, like many new students, may be uncertain about your choice of amajor or career field. Thus, in addition to the primary goal of broadeningyour awareness and understanding, an early focus on GE may help youbecome better acquainted with yourself and discover and deepen yourinterests and abilities in various academic disciplines and programs. If youare undeclared or uncertain about your major, carefully review programsyou are considering, taking note of required GE courses and modifications. The Evaluations or Advising and Orientation Offices can help youplan your GE program in such a way that you take full advantage of GE asa powerful career exploration tool.General Education EvaluationWhich Requirements Do You Follow?CSU, Chico revised its General Education Program effective fall semester1987 and again in fall 1993.If you were admitted and enrolled (matriculated) as a first-time freshmanbeginning with the fall 1993 semester or thereafter, either at CSU, Chicoor at another institution in The California State University or CaliforniaCommunity College systems, follow the current GE program described inthis section.If you have questions regarding the General Education program, see anAcademic Evaluator in Student Services Center room 120, or call theEvaluations Office at 530-898-5957.Important Notes to Help Youwith General Education Planning1. No more than 39 semester units of GE credit may be certified by otherinstitutions to apply to GE requirements at Chico.NOTE: If you are a transfer student from a California community collegewho has completed the entire Intersegmental General Education TransferCurriculum (IGETC), you will not be held for additional lower-division GErequirements. However, you must complete CSU, Chico’s U.S. Diversityand Global Cultures requirements, if these courses were not taken withinyour IGETC program, and, if necessary, the U.S. History, Constitutions,and American Ideals requirement, which cannot be included within theIGETC certification program. All students transferring with IGETC mustcomplete the 9-unit Upper-Division Thematic GE requirement at Chico.2. If, by virtue of transferring or readmission after an extended absence,you are required to switch from an earlier GE pattern, we will grant asmuch GE credit as possible for courses previously taken.3. If you transfer to another CSU campus, Chico will certify a maximumof 39 GE units. The remaining 9 units must be completed at the campusawarding your degree.4. Many courses which meet either the U.S. Diversity or the Global Cultures Studies graduation requirement also meet specific GE Area requirements. These courses are identified both in the following GE program andon the U.S. Diversity and Global Cultures Studies course list at the endof this chapter. Other U.S. Diversity and Global Cultures courses not currently approved for GE are also listed at the end of this chapter.5. Several majors require you to take specific GE courses and/or recommend certain GE courses as elective credit for the major. In a few highunit majors we have made modifications in the GE requirement in orderto reduce the total number of units required to complete the program.It is very important that you review the description of your major in theUniversity Catalog with your advisor. You must determine whether or notspecific GE courses are recommended or required or if there are modifications which you should consider for your major. The GE modifications aresummarized later in this chapter.6. Courses used to meet the History, Constitution, and American Idealsrequirement (HIST 130 and POLS 155) do not count toward the 48 unitsof GE in most cases. There are exceptions: this requirement may counttoward GE for students majoring in certain high-unit programs (See “Majors with Important Modifications to General Education Requirements” onpage 130). Exceptions will be noted on your transfer evaluation.When you have completed at least 39 semester units of GE, review yourdegree audit via the Chico State Connections Portal (http://portal.csuchico.edu). If you have course work taken prior to 1997 you may need to request a written Evaluation/Degree Audit from the Evaluations Office, MLIB180. Evaluators will review your record and mail you and your advisor acompleted Degree Audit evaluation.General Education Course Notation and FootnotesCourses which may count toward both a major and General Educationare identified by asterisks (*) in the program requirements description of amajor in The University Catalog.General Education courses listed in this section which are also applicableto the U.S. Diversity or Global Cultures requirements are footnoted USDor GC respectively.General Education Course RequirementsOverviewYou are to complete 48 units selected from designated GeneralEducation categories and courses. If you are enrolled in or areconsidering one of our high-unit majors, such as engineering, nursing,or liberal studies, carefully review the GE changes outlined in “Majorswith Important Modifications to General Education Requirements” foundlater in this chapter.Note the following general guidelines:1. Courses must be selected according to the following pattern ofGeneral Education: 12 units from core requirements (Area A); 27 unitsfrom breadth courses (Areas B, C, D, E); and 9 units from Upper-DivisionThemes.2. The 9-unit Upper-Division Theme may not be taken until you havecompleted 45 semester units and GE core requirements.3. A minimum of 9 of the 48 GE units must be taken at CSU, Chico.4. GE courses are periodically reviewed and may be added to or deletedfrom the list below.General Education Core: 12 UnitsArea A: SkillsYou must take a minimum of 12 semester units of skills courses, includingcommunication in the English language, both oral and written; criticalthinking, considering common fallacies in reasoning; and mathematicalconcepts and their applications.
