Notes: 

  • Assumptions: College-level readiness in MATH and ENG; no Foreign Language Deficiency (FLD). If a student has not completed 2 years of the same foreign language in high school, they will need to complete a 2-semester sequence at LCCC or CSU.
  • This map represents one example of how to complete the AA and BA degrees. Students should work closely with counselors/advisors at both institutions to discuss options.
  • CSU requires a minimum of 120 total credit hours for graduation. At least 30 credits must be completed in-residence at CSU. At least 24 of the in-residence credits must be completed at the upper division (300/400) level. An overall total of 42 upper division (300/400) level credits are required. Students deficient in total credits or in-residence credits must take additional elective credits to meet the minimum requirements. Depending upon other elective choices made, students may not need as many general electives as indicated above, or may need additional electives.
