To graduate from CSUEB, a student must complete at least 186 quarter units, meet the General Education/Breadth requirements, and satisfy certain other requirements listed in the catalog (Writing Skills, U.S. History, etc.). The Mathematics Major consists of 68 units (17 or more courses).
To complete the graduation requirements in four years (12 quarters), a student must take about 15 or 16 units per quarter. Many CSUEB students are attending school while working or fulfilling family obligations; the "average" student takes about 12 units per quarter, and requires more than four years to graduate.
The units not used for the major or for G.E. requirements can be used for (i) a second major, (ii) a minor, (iii) courses in other areas that interest the student.
Transfer students must meet certain unit requirements. For instance,
One course may count toward several of these requirements at once. For example, a 3000 level history course may count for residence units, for units above 3000, and for G.E. units taken in residence.
A complete description of graduation requirements is listed in the catalog, and each student should read carefully the section in the catalog for the year that covers his graduation.
