  • International Relations B.A.
  • Global Studies B.A.
  • Gender Studies B.A.

Advising Notes:

  • Students can substitute ESLW 340 for ENGL C1000/C1000H (formerly known as ENGWR 300/480).
  • Transferable Elective Courses: any elective courses numbered 300-499, or having a 4-digit number starting with C.
  • Students are encouraged to take SOC 302 (Introduction to Social Research Methods) as one of their elective courses after they have completed SOC 300 and PSYC 330. SOC 302 fulfills a Sociology degree requirement at many CSUs and UCs. It also gives students data collection and analysis skills that are immediately marketable.

Other Notes to Students Preparing to Transfer:

  • See ASSIST.ORG for the transfer requirements of the institution to which you plan to transfer.
  • The CSU system requires every student receiving a bachelor\'s degree to be knowledgeable about the Constitution of the United States, American history, and state and local government. This requirement is generally known as the American Institutions requirement. Students can complete this requirement at ARC before transferring. The list of approved courses can be found on the ARC website.

Honors Courses (H):

Students with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or better who complete 15 or more units of Honors coursework earn an Honors Transfer Certificate and can take advantage of honors-to-honors transfer agreements with highly selective colleges and universities, both public and private.
