Cal-GETC - Major #5040

Certificate of Achievement Program Map

The program map below represents an efficient and effective course taking sequence for this program. Individual circumstances might require some changes to this path. It is always recommended that you meet with your pathway counselor to develop a personalized educational plan.

The general education or breadth requirements are designed to give CSU/UC undergraduates a broad background in all major academic disciplines-natural sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, ethnic studies, mathematics, humanities and visual and performing arts. This certificate allows the student to complete Certification of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) for the California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC). Cal-GETC Certification is not automatic, please request certification through Admission and Records. This Certificate of Achievement will allow the student to complete the lower division general education required courses but does not meet all the requirements for transfer (see Note). A course or sequence of courses used to satisfy a requirement in one area may not be used to satisfy a requirement in another area. Students should check with a counselor and review the FCC college catalog for further clarification. NOTE: The Cal-GETC Certificate of Achievement only confirms completing CSU and/or UC general education requirements and does not meet Associate Degree of transfer admission requirements. Completion of Cal-GETC is NOT an admission requirement to CSU or UC. It is not advisable for students who are pursuing majors that require extensive lower division preparation, such as Engineering, to follow Cal-GETC. All courses must be completed with a “C” or better. Courses must be on the college’s approved Cal-GETC list at time the course was completed. Students should consult with a counselor and review the FCC college catalog for further clarification.

Upon completion of the program, students will:

1. Evaluate and apply a global understanding of the following subject areas: English Communication through a course in three subareas of English composition, critical thinking and composition and oral communication; Mathematical Concepts and Quantitative Reasoning; Arts and Humanities; Social and Behavioral; Physical and Biological Sciences with on laboratory component; and Ethnic Studies.

Honors Cultural Anthropology

3 units

Effective Term: 2026 Fall Semester
This course is an enhanced exploration of how anthropologists study and compare human culture. Cultural anthropologists seek to understand the diversity of human experience, focusing on a set of central issues: how people around the world make their living (subsistence patterns); how they organize themselves socially, politically and economically; how they communicate; how they relate to each other through marriage, family and kinship ties; what they believe about the world (religion and belief systems); how they express themselves creatively (the arts and expressive culture); how they make distinctions among themselves; how they have shaped and been shaped by the past; and how they navigate culture change and processes of globalization. Ethnographic case studies highlight these similarities and differences, and introduce students to how anthropologists do their work, employ professional anthropological research ethics and apply their perspectives and skills to understand humans around the globe. The Honors section of this course places greater emphasis on various anthropological theories and data-gathering methods, as well as historical and contemporary debates within the discipline of anthropology.
