Subplan/Option Required: 12 units
Subplan/Option Electives: 1 unit
Unrestricted Electives: 0-3 units
Select a sufficient number of courses so that the total from Major Required, Subplan/Option Required, Subplan/Option Electives, Graduation Requirements, GE, and Unrestricted Electives is at least 120 units. Graduation Requirements: 9 units
American Institutions: 6 units
The CSU requires all students complete coursework in US History, US Government, and California and local Government. At CPP, this is a 2-course requirement: American Institutions Part A - US History and American Institutions Part B - US and California Government.
