Overview
IGETC is a general education pattern that, upon full or “partial” (all but two courses)
certification, will satisfy all or most lower-division general education requirements
at California State University (CSU) campuses, most University of California (UC)
campuses/majors, and some private/independent or out-of state universities. However,
it is not the only way to fulfill the lower-division GE requirements for baccalaureate
degree prior to transfer to a university. Part of the transfer process will require
GE breadth certification. All courses must be passed with a grade of “C” or higher.
IGETC certification is not recommended for “high-unit” majors. Complete a Guidance
class or meet with a counselor to accurately plan coursework to satisfy transfer admission
and upper-division major requirements.
