IGETC 2013 - 2014 (INTERSEGMENTAL GENERAL EDUCATION TRANSFER CURRICULUM)

The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) is a general education program that community colleges transfer students may use to fulfill lowerdivision general education requirements in either the UC or the CSU system without the need, after transfer, to take additional lower-division general education courses.

A “Credit” or “Pass” that is defined by institutional policy as being equivalent to a grade of C (2.0) or higher may be applied to meet IGETC requirements. Foreign coursework from non-US...
