This database is current through 02/09/07, Register 2007, No. 6
s 40405. General Education -Breadth Objectives.

General education-breadth requirements in The California State University
are so designed that, taken with the major depth program and elective
credits presented by each candidate for the bachelor's degree, they will
assure that graduates from the several campuses in the system have made
noteworthy progress toward becoming truly educated persons. Particularly,
the purpose of the breadth requirements is to provide means whereby
graduates:
(a) will have achieved the ability to think clearly and logically, to find
and critically examine information, to communicate orally and in writing,
and to perform quantitative functions;

(b) will have acquired appreciable knowledge about their own bodies and
minds, about how human society has developed and how it now functions,
about the physical world in which they live, about the other forms of life
with which they share that world, and about the cultural endeavors and
legacies of their civilizations;

(c) will have come to an understanding and appreciation of the principles,
methodologies, value systems, and thought processes employed in human
inquiries.

It is the intent of this section that the general education-breadth
requirements be planned and organized in such a manner that students will
acquire the abilities, knowledge, understanding, and appreciation
suggested as interrelated elements and not as isolated fragments.

There are three acceptable programs: The California State University
General Education-Breadth Requirements (Section 40405.1), the
Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (Section 40405.2),
and General Education Reciprocity with the University of California
(Section 40405.3).
