1 November 14, 2006 California State University (CSU) Statewide Pattern The Lower-Division Transfer Pattern (LDTP) consists of the CSU statewide pattern of coursework outlined below, plus campus-specific coursework, bringing the total pattern to at least 60 but no more than 70 transferable for students to complete at a California Community College (CCC). The CSU statewide pattern of coursework for CCC students who plan to major in Biology at any CSU campus offering the major includes: Completion of most lower-division general education requirements: Areas A, B, C, and D of the CSU General Education Breadth (GE-Breadth) pattern; Completion of the CSU graduation requirements in United States History, Constitution and American Ideals; and Completion of 15 additional as specified in (3) below. Please note that the information here is an academic and curricular advising tool: a roadmap that enables transfer students to efficiently and effectively progress towards the CSU baccalaureate degree in a specified discipline. California Community College students should work closely with their advisers when planning their academic program in preparation for transfer to the CSU. This information does not represent any guarantee with regard to admission nor does it include or replace CSU campus admissions impaction criteria (see These curricular guidelines are subject to change.
