2. Obtain a minimum 2.0 GPA. GPA requirements may be significantly higher if the campus or the major is impacted.
3. Complete at least 30 semester units (or 45 quarter units) of courses equivalent to general education requirements with grades of “C-” or better. The 30 units must include the “Golden Four” (Area A-1: Oral Communication; Area A-2: Written Communication; Area A-3: Critical Thinking; and at least one course of at least 3 semester units (or 4 quarter units) in Area B-4: Mathematics/Quantitative reasoning).
