I took exactly 60 units to transfer. I averaged about 12-16 units a semester and took 8 units in the summer (my online Spanish class was worth 5 units!) It was roughly about 19 classes but it depends on how many math, science and language classes you take that are worth more units.

To be clear about the language igetc requirement, taking 2+ years in high school means you don't have to take college foreign language classes for igetc but your high school classes don't count for units. Only AP scores can count toward units and those can only be applied in certain ways so make sure to talk to a counselor about that. Major prerequisites can fulfill igetc requirement so you can kill two birds with one stone. However you can't fulfill two igetc requirements with one class. The rest of your 60 units just come from filler courses that are UC transferable. I would reccommend maybe taking one or two Spanish classes because they're worth a lot of units. Just make sure your 60 unit total comes from UC-TRANSFERABLE classes. Any classes that aren't transferable don't count toward the 60 that you need.

Yea, French would be way easy. Lol, I just assumed that you took Spanish. I'm pretty sure all foriegn language classes are a lot of units.
