Associate Degree General Education 2023-2024: Option 3 (IGETC)
Completion of the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) will satisfy the lower-division general education requirements of either the California State University or the University of California system. The IGETC should be completed in its entirety before transferring or the student may be subject to the general education requirements of the campus to which they have been admitted.
Students seeking GE transfer certification are eligible for a Certificate of Achievement award.
All courses must be completed with grades of “C” or better. Grades of “credit” can be used if “credit” is equal to a “C” or better. There are limits to the number of units that can be taken P/NP.
Courses used to meet IGETC requirements must be at least three semester units or four quarter units.
Important Note: Courses on this list are approved for a specific academic term. Students wishing to use a course to meet an IGETC requirement must be sure that the course is approved for the academic term in which it is taken. This list is valid only for courses taken Fall 2023 through Summer 2024. For courses taken prior to Fall 2023, students should check the master list which shows the dates that courses were added or deleted since the original list was published in 1991. This list is available in the Counseling Center or Transfer Center in Watson Hall.
