This degree may not be appropriate preparation for students transferring to a CSU campus not accepting this degree or to a university or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a MiraCosta counselor for further information regarding the most efficient pathway to transfer as a Chicano Studies studies major and to determine which CSU campuses are participating in this program.\n\n##### Graduation Requirements\n\n-   Complete a minimum of 60 CSU-transferable semester units. \n-   Complete all courses in the major with a “C” or \"P\" or better.\n-   Complete the Cal-GETC general education pattern.\n-   Obtain a minimum CSU-transferable grade point average of 2.0.\n-   Complete a minimum of 12 semester units in residence at MiraCosta College.\n\n##### Program Student Learning Outcome\n\nUpon successful completion of this program, students will be able to assess the impact of historical and cultural Chicano/x and Latinx experiences in the United States and examine how those influences shape the contemporary Chicano/x and Latinx experience."
