“SAMPLE” Road Map for MJC Transfers to CSU Stanislaus, Liberal Studies Major
The following is ONE ALTERNATIVE for MJC students to complete the LIBS major and GE requirements (for additional
alternatives, see an advisor on your campus). Transfer students should take LIBS 3000 (WP) in their first term at CSU
Stanislaus and NOT take additional lower division coursework in completed GE areas until meeting with a LIBS advisor for
alternative patterns. MJC courses are RED and upper division CSU Stanislaus classes are BLUE.
