What is General Education Certification?

All California State Universities accept a common pattern of General Education Certification. If you complete the entire pattern prior to transferring to one of the 23 state universities, you should request that the GE Certification be sent along with your final official transcript.

All 23 state CSU universities will honor this certification. In other words, you are not required to take additional lower-division general education courses in the areas certified as complete by Mission College.

The IGETC General Education pattern can also be certified and is honored by both the CSU and UC systems.

For more information visit the Transfer Center or make an appointment to speak with a counselor.
