Azusa Pacific University to CSU

I am currently a freshman at Azusa Pacific University. I want to transfer to a Cal State. I have complete 12 units Fall 2016 and I am currently taking 16 this Spring 2017. I currently have a 3.9 GPA and I am majoring in Psychology. I am taking all the GE requirements and Major requirements. These are the classes :

Fall 2016:

Human Growth and Development (3 units)
Writing 1 (3 units)
Intro to Art (3 units)
First Year Seminar (3 units)

Spring 2017:
Fundamentals of Biology (4 units)
Intro to Statistics (3 units)
General Psychology (3 units)
Intro to Philosophy (3 units)
Public Communication (3 units)

Summer 2017 at Mt. Sac:

Critical Thinking and Writing (4 units)
ASL (3 units)

Fall 2017 (Plan to take):

Fundamentals of Chemistry (4 units)
History of the United States to 1877 (3 units)
Intro to Brain and Behavior (3 units)
World Geography (3 units)

Will any of these classes be transferable to a CSU?

You need to check assist.org and select CSULB as your target school. You will get a list of required courses needed for transfer to CSULB. You then need to match your APU courses with the CSU transferable courses.

I might also suggest if possible to make an appointment with a CSULB transfer advisor and maybe they can go over your courses/transcript.

You do realize that CSULB takes Junior level transfers with 60 semesters or more.

Here are some of the CSU GE requirements:

As part of the general education requirements for a bachelor’s degree, all CSU students must meet the minimum of 48 semester units of general education breadth requirement. The general education requirement includes 39 semester units of lower-division (GE-Breadth) and at least nine units of upper-division courses, completed after transferring to the CSU.

The CSU GE-Breadth Requirements is a lower division 39 semester/58.5 quarter unit pattern with specified courses in the areas of:

Area A — English Language Communication and Critical Thinking
Area B — Scientific Inquiry and Quantitative Reasoning
Area C — Arts and Humanities
Area D — Social Sciences
Area E — Lifelong Learning and Self-Development
Each California Community College (CCC) has a list of courses that can be used in each of the areas. The list is also available at www.assist.org. Each of the areas has a minimum number of units or courses. See the Transfer Student Planner for more information about each of the areas.

California Community Colleges or other approved institutions can certify up to 39 lower-division GE-Breadth semester (58.5 quarter) units.Certification means that CSU will accept these courses to meet the CSU GE-Breadth areas designated by your CCC. Students who are certified with 39 semester units of lower-division GE-Breadth units will only be required to complete a minimum of nine semester (13.5 quarter) units of upper division general education work after transfer just like other students attending your CSU campus.

If I was in your predicament, I would go to a CC and earn my units there and then apply for transfer to CSULB once I complete the transfer requirements for whatever major.

Good luck!
