IGETC, Assist.org, & Choosing Classes

I thought I should probably give an explanation of how I chose my classes in order to give others resources to help choose what classes to take, when trying to transfer.

IGETC

The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum is a series of classes that a transfer student can take in order to satisfy General Education Requirements at both UC's and CSU's [as well as some private colleges]. There are different requirements for UC's & CSU's. The IGETC [eye-get-see] is not for everyone; for example, students with engineering or science majors might find it harder to follow the IGETC & do their lower-division major preperation at the same time, in which case there is the basic gen. ed classes you can take to transfer. The IGETC is completely optional, although if you do chose to take it, you have to finish it before you transfer to the university.

Assist.org

Assist.org is a website that lists IGETC, Gen Ed Breadth, & Lower Division Major Requirements from and to any California Community College to a UC or CSU. If you know what you want to major in or what university you want to go to, this can help you get started on what classes to take to transfer. This helped me choose classes to fufill IGETC & as many lower division major requirements as I can in two years. :]

My Classes

Well, the classes that I'm taking this semester are Chem 155, Math 150, Eng 110, PE 109, Psy 100.

Chem&Math help with both IGETC & lower division major req's.

Psy helps with lower division major req's.

Eng helps with IGETC

PE just for fun to try and stay in shape.

I'm a little OCD so i chose pretty much what classes I have to take at my CCC in my 2 years there. Of course you don't have to do this, but if you want to get a little push Assist.org is a great start.
