What is CSU GE Certification?
Students who are planning to transfer to a CSU may want to complete the CSU GE, otherwise known as the California State University General Education Certification Pattern. This allows community college students to satisfy lower division general education requirements at a community college such as Mesa. Upon completion, students are able to apply for certification. Completion of CSU GE Certification Pattern is an option for students to use when preparing for transfer. It is not the only option and for some majors such as engineering, elementary education, nursing, and many others, may not be recommended. Please see a counselor to assist you in determining whether following the CSU GE Certification Pattern will be the best route for you. If you have questions about which GE pattern to complete, talk to a counselor.
