Welcome

Thank you for visiting the 2018-2019 Cal State East Bay Catalog.  This is the final version and official publication of the 2018-2019 catalog.  The earlier versions (Beta & Gamma) had been published as works-in-progress so that current and potential students could plan for their programs under the new semester-based calendar. This catalog includes courses and policies approved and information provided on or before July 2, 2018.
