At least 24 of these 30 units must be earned in upper-division courses, at least 12 must be in the major, and at least 9 must be applicable to General Education-Breadth requirements)
2. Grade Point Average  (minimum grade point average of 2.0 (C) or better)
3. General Education  (minimum of 49 units)
4. Upper Division Writing Proficiency  (minimum of 3 units)
   - Pass the Writing Proficiency Screening Test (WPST)
   - Writing Proficiency (WP) Course (may double count in the major)
5. United States Constitution and California State and Local Government  (minimum of 3 units)
6. Multicultural Requirement  (minimum of 3 units) (may double count with General Education requirements or in the major)
