Admission requirements

The Bachelor of Arts in Humanities & Social Sciences Online Degree Completion program requires you to have 69 transferable semester units from one or more universities, community colleges, or other regionally-accredited institutions. These transferable units must fulfill the lower-division general education requirements. If you have fewer than 69 units (60-68), you may still be conditionally admitted into the program.

The online degree-completion program comprises 51 semester units (17 courses), bringing you to the total 120 units required to be eligible for graduation.

 

" Admissions requirements must be completed by end of Spring 2025 to be considered for the Fall 2025 admission cycle . No Summer 2025 courses will be considered for eligibility."

Transferable Credits

To see whether or not courses from your community college will transfer to Cal State Fullerton, you can use ASSIST, a database that houses the transfer agreements between all California community colleges and California public universities. You may also contact the CSUF Transfer Center or your community college’s counseling center for assistance.

 

Conditional Admission

In some cases, you may still be conditionally admitted to the program even if you do not meet the unit requirement of 69 transferable units. Being conditionally admitted allows you to start in the fall, but requires you to complete missing coursework concurrently at another college in your area.
