Program Description

This Certificate of Achievement is for students who intend to transfer to the California State University system (CSU) or one of the many independent or out-of-state institutions that accept the CSU GE pattern. Students who complete the requirements for this Certificate of Achievement with a grade of "C" or better in each course will complete the lower division requirements for the CSU General Education/Breadth pattern as outlined and required by the California State University. Students should meet with a Foothill College counselor to determine whether the CSU GE/Breadth transfer pattern is the best option to meet their specific transfer goals.

The Certificate of Achievement will be noted on the student's transcript. To earn the Certificate of Achievement, students must complete the coursework outlined below. Courses on this list are approved for a specific academic year. Courses completed for this Certificate of Achievement must be on the approved list during the year in which they were taken. Please consult a counselor with any questions. For information regarding the year in which courses are approved, access assist.org.

Additional Information

To be eligible to transfer to a CSU campus, students must complete at least 90 units of CSU transferable courses with a GPA of 2.0 or better. Completion of the California State University General Education/Breadth curriculum (CSU GE) requirements as outlined satisfies the requirements of the Certificate of Achievement in Transfer Studies: CSU GE. Completion of the CSU General Education/Breadth pattern is also required for students pursuing an Associate Degree for Transfer (A.A.-T and/or A.S.-T). In addition to completing the courses for the Certificate of Achievement, the student is responsible for completing major preparation and/or elective credits to complete the 90 quarter units required for admission for all CSU campuses. Students can use assist.org to review major preparation courses and are strongly advised to see a counselor for educational planning in order to achieve successful admission to the university of their choice.

Note: Some universities also require students to submit a formal CSU GE certification form which is available through the Foothill College Evaluations Office prior to transfer. University deadlines are generally immediately following spring quarter; therefore, students should request the certification the week prior to finals during their last term at Foothill College.
