California State University, Northridge (CSUN) Transfer Requirements In addition to the general education requirements, each department has its own lower division major requirements. Students who complete as many lower division major requirements as possible have the best chance of getting admitted to their major. In some programs, Los Angeles Valley College does not offer all the lower division preparation courses required by the departmental majors. It is essential, therefore, to refer to the CSUN General Catalog for complete departmental major requirements. Since many of the departmental major requirements are revised after a college catalog has been printed, students are also urged to consult a counselor for up-to-date information. A CSUN transfer informational handout is available in the Counseling Office. TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS Los Angeles Valley College n 2017-18 CATALOG 30 Los Angeles Valley College n 2017-18 CATALOG 31
