In addition to the major program requirements, every student must also complete the University’s baccalaureate degree requirements such as:
- American Government and Institutions (PLSI 2 )
- General Education Requirements (48 units)
- Multicultural and International (MI)
- Upper-division Writing
- Sufficient Elective Units to Meet Required Total Units (varies); it is recommended that units in this area be utilized to complete a second major or minor.
A full description of the University’s graduation requirements can be found in the Baccalaureate Degree Requirements .
Total: 120 Units*
*General Education, MI, and Upper-division Writing courses can be double counted with major requirements.This includes MATH 11 (Area B4). See advisor for details.
- Memos waiving all prerequisites for the listed requirement courses are included in this application. In other words, there are no hidden prerequisites.
- Additionally, there are no major requirement (category 1) elective units in the major. Free electives are not listed here other than when students take multiple courses in the major requirement categories beyond the required units. With limited course offerings each semester, most students will take multiple courses in each major requirement category. This implicit iterative exposure to core elements of the Program is an intentional part of the design. Mindful of the precarious nature of incarceration including early paroles and transfers, new cohort members will join at times other than every other fall. In fact, participation in this program might hasten the occasion of early parole since participation in this program may illustrate worthiness of early release.
