What is IGETC?
The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) is a general education program that community college transfer students can use to fulfill lower-division general education requirements. We think it is most important that you focus on your Foundation Courses, then on UCSC admission requirements, and finally on general education requirements if room is left on your schedule. Besides, most students find that it is best to only take two courses for the major each quarter and you will need a third class each quarter for full-time student status. Thus, we do not recommend you finish IGETC before transferring into an SoE major at UCSC.
Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum is general education coursework that meets requirements for the University of California “UC” or Cal State University “CSU” systems. Completion of IGETC is not recommended for certain science or engineering majors. For more information schedule an appointment to meet with a counselor.
IGETC or the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum is a general education program which community college students can use to satisfy lower division general education requirements for any CSU or UC campus. Completion of IGETC is one option for students to use when preparing for transfer. It is not the only option and for some majors, such as engineering and science, may not be recommended. Please see a counselor to assist you in determining whether following the IGETC requirements will be the best route for you. If you have questions about which GE pattern to complete, talk to a counselor.
