Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC)

UC General Education/Breadth Requirements

These requirements are designed to give University undergraduates a broad background in a variety of major academic disciplines. Each school and college at every UC campus has its own set of requirements, accounting for more than 40 general education patterns systemwide. This presents a confusing array of choices for transfer students, especially those applying to more than one UC campus.
