• Refer to the online schedule of classes to see which courses are being offered for a specific term and to double check which GE requirements the course satisfies during that term.
• Be aware that the GE Category (A-F) requirements must each be satisfied by a unique course. The "Other GE Categories" column below may indicate additional categories a course is certified in but does not mean that the course will meet more than one category requirement for an individual student.
• Additional General Education Requirements should be met by courses also meeting the GE Category requirements to minimize the number of units needed.
• Comments are added to the course lists below to highlight changes in the approved active GE course lists. See Previous Courses to research courses that previously met GE requirements.
• Students should regularly run their Academic Requirements Report on MyCSULB to monitor their completion of all degree requirements including General Education.

Capstone Courses

The purpose of Capstone is to bring the strands of the General Education experience into focus, to reinforce knowledge and skills acquired from many areas, and to incorporate depth in the form of more sophisticated tools and analysis, if not necessarily in terms of content knowledge. Capstone General Education courses are upper division and demonstrably develop advanced college skills, including writing, synthesis and application of knowledge, analysis, critique and research.

Capstone courses consist of five types:

Advanced Skills

These courses require students to apply skills at a level above that of Explorations courses. Examples include, but are not limited to, (a) advanced composition, (b) research and advanced methods, and (c) presentation skills.
