<p>Is it the general ed electives you have complete in order to transfer into a UC?
Like the 4 classes you have to complete from those 3 categories?
And is it necessary to take language as one of them if I’m going into Econ/Business?</p>
<p>yes its general ed. and if you look at the igetc course sheet i think its a bit more than 4 courses. and if u took 2 or more years of the same language in hs, then you dont need to take a language in cc. and yes, everyone needs to do the language requirement…its part of igetc.</p>
<p>why are you asking a question that is 10 times easier to answer by doing your own research on google? its not 4 classes, its like 45 units</p>

<p>[IGETC</a> | Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum](<a href=“http://www.igetc.org%5DIGETC”>http://www.igetc.org)</p>
<p>Did you even bother to google it?</p>
<p>igetc is basically the community college “equivalent” of the general ed you would have been taking at UC during your first two years had you started as a freshman. the different areas, like area 1, 2, 3 etc are basically categories that you have to pick and choose classes from(depending on what your specific community college offers that fulfill that category) to fulfill your general ed for igetc. once you have finished all the categories or areas, you have finished the general ed requirements to transfer to a UC. However you need 60 transferable units. IGETC requirements alone don’t fulfill 60 units. Depending on your major, you can fulfill the 60 unit requirements by taking the major’s lower division coursework at your community college. Some of your major’s lower division coursework might count double for your general ed and the major, so go through the classes and prospective major requirements and pick and choose wisely.</p>
<p>But I don’t need to do ALL of my IGETC my first two years right?
I just need to complete at least 4 classes from the 2nd 3rd of 4 category right?</p>
<p>igetc = i go eat then chiiiiiiit.</p>
<p>redmangoose, what exactly is your plan? are you looking to transfer to a UC? how long do you plan on being at a community college? I ask all these questions because your above question is very confusing, “I don’t need to do ALL of my IGETC my first two years right?”. Unless you provide more information of your “plan” at a community college, people like myself are just going to be wrongly guessing that all you want to do is transfer.
And if “all” you want to do is “just” transfer, there’s no reason for you to ask the question above because generally speaking 2-3 years is more than enough time to complete all of igetc(assuming you’re attending full time). Now if you plan on being at a community college for more than 3 years, exploring different random classes that don’t transfer, or don’t count towards igetc, than to answer your question, you dont “need” to complete igetc in any specific order. As long as you complete “ALL OF” IGETC, be it over the course of 2 years or 5 or 1 year or 10 years, then you’re fine. </p>
<p>In regards to your second question,
"I just need to complete at least 4 classes from the 2nd 3rd of 4 category right? "
this again is confusing, because once again, i don’t know what you mean by what is written. Do you mean that you plan on not completing category 1, 5, or 6 at all, or do you plan to complete them during a 3rd year or 4th year at a community college?
I can’t help you if you don’t clear this up. But to answer your question, you need to complete all of the categories. Completing all the categories does not mean completing all of the classes listed in the categories. It means completing the minimum required units per area/category. For some categories/areas you need to complete 6-9 units, which means 2 or 3 classes listed from the area/category. Meaning if one area or category has 10-15 classes listed in that category/area, you pick 2-3 classes from the 10-15 offered.</p>
<p>once again, google. google, go to your dang school and ask a councilor, go do some dang helpful research and dont ask confusing, unclear questions that are impossible to answer</p>
