(c) will have come to an understanding and appreciation of the principles, methodologies, value systems, and thought processes employed in human inquiries.
It is the intent of this section that the general education requirements be planned and organized in such a manner that students will acquire the abilities, knowledge, understanding, and appreciation suggested as interrelated elements and not as isolated fragments.
There are three aAcceptable programs
include: The California State University General Education Requirements (Section 40405.1), the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (Section 40405.2), the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Section 404045.5), and General Education Reciprocity with the University of California (Section 40405.3).
