A variety of Degree Minors and Certificates are available at Cal State L.A. A list of these may be found in the University General Catalog.

Degree Minors are not required and may not be taken in the same subject as the Degree Major. A Minor consists of a formal group of courses totaling 18 or more Quarter Units. Requirements for the Minor must be completed prior to or at the same time as the requirements for the Degree Major. The Minor will be noted on the student's Transcript at the time of Graduation. Student's should consult an Adviser in the Department or Division offering the Minor of their choice for additional information and requirements.

Some Certificate Programs are offered within Degree Majors and can be applied toward a Baccalaureate or Master's Degree while others are offered through
Continuing Education with the Certificate being the main goal. Certificate Programs have specific requirements, including the amount of course work required to be completed at Cal State L.A., the number of units required, the GPA, and the need for an Internship. Individual Certificate Program requirements and required courses appear in the Program listings of the Academic Departments, Divisions, Schools, and Colleges that offer them.
