What is General Education (GE)?
GE is a pattern of Freshman and Sophomore lower-division classes that provides a well-rounded educational experience before transfer. Courses are usually introductory in nature and provide students with knowledge in the following GE areas: English, arts, language, humanities, mathematics, social sciences, physical and biological sciences, and Life Long Understanding. The CSU, UC, Private and out-of-state colleges all have different GE patterns and students can complete most lower division GE classes for these universities at Palomar. However, because each of these universities have different GE patterns the earlier you can identify where you want to transfer the better a counselor can assist you in creating a comprehensive educational plan to meet your transfer school requirements. Note: Some universities may require additional Junior and Senior upper-division GE classes after you transfer.
