2024-2025 California State University General Education Requirements
Folsom Lake College may certify a total of 39 units of lower-division general education. Students are encouraged to complete lower-division major requirements as part of the 60 units required for transfer. These requirements can be found at assist.org.
It is important to meet with a counselor in selecting courses to determine the most appropriate courses to take depending on the transfer institution and major. Students should request certification of their California State University (CSU) General Education (GE) before transferring.
Courses listed in more than one area can only be used in one area for certification, except courses listed in Area B. Courses with the same designator and number at other Los Rios Colleges may have different CSU GE approvals. Consult with a counselor for more information.
