Not my opinion.

catalog.csus.edu

From CSU itself - in geology a full time load was considered 13-14 units because of the field work which gave one unit for 8 hours. In their catalog they showed normal graduation took FIVE years which included a six week summer field course and two years of every other weekend field courses in every term in which major courses were taken. These were impacted and couldn't be taken every term.

[For 128 unit BS - not all are "only" 120 units - hard sciences are often more, a]ll CSU students must meet the minimum of 48 semester units of General Education (GE)-breadth requirements in order to earn the bachelor's degree. The GE requirement includes 39 semester units of lower-division coursework and at least nine semester units of upper-division coursework.

When I got my second degree there was a further stipulation that NINE of that HAD to be at that campus (not just in the same university system so they double dipped) and repeated locally. This seemed to be a make work program for social sciences where no one would ever get a job with that major. I graduated with 136 units instead of 120 because they didn't count some courses taken at other campuses for the campus-specific requirements. My case was not unique. It is almost always the General Education that doesn't transfer unless someone takes business calculus instead of "full calculus" or "bone head physics" and not physics I. This was not my case.
