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 a total of 120 units required for graduation.

 

" Admissions requirements must be completed by end of Spring 2026 to be considered for the Fall 2026 admission cycle. No Summer 2026 courses will be considered for eligibility."

Program Requirements

To be eligible for admission, transfer students must have 69-70 transferable units which include:

• A minimum 2.5 GPA
• A minimum of 30 CSU semester units in CSU-approved general education coursework, including the "Golden Four".
  
  • The "Golden Four"must be completed with a grade of C- or better (or be in progress by the spring term prior to the fall start). If not, you will not be eligible for admission (conditional or regular).  

• A minimum of 30 and a maximum of 39 semester units in CSU-transferable coursework
• Good academic standing at the last college or university attended

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, but have completed 60-68 units. Talk to the program advisor if this is your case. Being conditionally admitted allows you to start in the fall, but requires you to complete missing coursework concurrently at a community college.

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.
