With the special degree, you may be given a GPA bump when applying to an impacted campus outside your local service area or to impacted majors that are deemed similar. 

In addition, once at the CSU, if you are admitted and enrolled in a designated similar degree program you have the opportunity to complete your bachelor’s degree with as little as 60 semester units or 90 quarter units of coursework.
