* GE Interdisciplinary Capstone may count in GE and major if selected.

Some courses used to meet minor/minor concentration classes may also be used to meet GE requirements. 

Journalism majors may apply no more than 40 units of journalism courses toward the 120 units required for the degree.

A minimum of 65 units myst be in the traditional liberal arts and science.  Majors are required to have a minor or minor concentration of at least 15 units.  (2 lower-division and 3 upper-division classes).
