General Education Requirements
GENERAL TRANSFER INFORMATION: Students may be admitted to
CLU with fewer than 28 semester units on the basis of test scores and
high school records. Transfer students must complete a minimum of
30 transferable semester units (maximum 70) with a 2.75 GPA in all
previous college work attempted. Students should also have a 2.5 GPA
in the last term of full-time study prior to the time of application to CLU.
All coursework applicable to GE or major preparation requirements must
be taken for a grade, with the exception of courses taken credit by exam.
CLU accepts the certification of the Intersegmental General Education
Transfer Curriculum (IGETC). Students who complete IGETC and California
Lutheran University’s religion and foreign language requirements will
have met all of CLU’s general education curriculum. Students who do not
complete IGETC prior to transferring to CLU will follow the CLU general
education pattern.
A course can be used only once to satisfy GE requirements. Even
though a course may be listed in more than one area, the course cannot
be double counted for GE.
Prospective transfer students are encouraged to schedule an appointment
with the CLU coordinator of transfer services for counseling and preliminary
transcript evaluation. Also visit CLU’s website at callutheran.edu
