Roadmap Notes


* Either 5A or 5B must be taken with a 5C - Laboratory .

We urge students completing lower-division GE requirements to take course sequences, such as those offered by African American Studies (AFAM 2A /AFAM 2B ), American Studies (AMS 1A /AMS 1B ), Asian American Studies (AAS 33A /AAS 33B ), Chicana and Chicano Studies (CCS 10A /CCS 10B ), or the Humanities Honors Program (HUM 10 HUM 11 HUM 20 HUM 21  with permission of program coordinator). These sequences allow students to fulfill multiple GE areas while freeing up more elective units.
