Note that general education requirements at CSUs including SFSU are different from those at UCs, and each UC can have different general education requirements. UCSD (and UCSC) assign students to one of several residential colleges (not by major) which have different general education requirements. Of course, general education courses taken at SFSU may transfer for subject credit for courses fulfilling general education requirements at UCSD or UCSB.
