<p>The course requirements seem to be little bit complicated! (Philosophy major in my case)
so there are 10 general ed classes that we have to take ([here](<a href=“http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/ge/GE-LSFr10-11.pdf]here[/url]”>http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/ge/GE-LSFr10-11.pdf)</a>)
plus the major requirements [here[/url</a>]</p>

<p>But there are also the Writing requirement, Foreign Language requirement, Quantitative Reasoning requirement, etc (that [url=<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/APCreditLS.htm]this”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/APCreditLS.htm]this</a> page](<a href=“http://www.philosophy.ucla.edu/index.php/undergraduate-program-/39-undergraduate-category/46-major-requirements]here[/url”>http://www.philosophy.ucla.edu/index.php/undergraduate-program-/39-undergraduate-category/46-major-requirements) mentions)are these part of General ed requirements? but then [this</a> page](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/APCreditLS.htm]this”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/APCreditLS.htm) says that AP credits cannot satisfy the General Eds however they can satisfy the writing, etc. requirements.</p>

<p>It will be great if somebody give an overview of all these types of requirements, their distinction and explain if they overlap…</p>

<p>thanks in advance!</p>

<p>This is really the type of thing that you would learn at Orientation. If you’re interested now, [this</a> page](<a href=“http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/catalog/catalog10-11-21.htm#pgfId-998754]this”>http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/catalog/catalog10-11-21.htm#pgfId-998754) has a lot of the information. The rest of the catalog may also be interesting.</p>

<p>A lot of the requirements do overlap, and for the most part classes satisfying requirements in multiple areas satisfies all of those requirements.</p>
