Undergraduate Degrees are comprised of General Education courses, courses required by the Major, and Electives. Seventy-two units of General Education courses are required for graduation, and include sixty units of Lower Division courses and twelve units of Upper Division Theme courses. As of Fall 1998, Cal State L.A. has a revised General Education Program. Students whose G.E. Catalog Date is Fall 1998 or later, will find the G.E. Program described in the Quarterly Schedule of Classes. Students who have an earlier G.E. Catalog Date should refer to the University General Catalog for a complete description of the G.E. Program.

Students should seek General Education Advisement from Advisers in the University Academic Advisement Center (UAAC) or faculty Advisers in their Major and Minor Departments/Schools/Divisions. Students who do not have a Declared Major should seek Advisement from the University Academic Advisement Center.

Students in the General Education Honors Program are required to complete a minimum of six General Education courses that are designated as honors courses to have "Graduated With G.E. Honors" noted on their Transcript at the time of graduation. Advisement for the G.E. Honors Program is available in the G.E. Honors Program Office, Library-Palmer Wing 1040A.
