Request Information
Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC)
Course Work at Independent or Out-Of-State Institutions

Courses completed at a California independent or out-of-state post-secondary institution may be included in a student's certification if the Instructional Division determines that the course work completed at another institution is equivalent to course work on CSM's approved IGETC list. Given that institutions other than California Community Colleges will not have a combined course in critical thinking-English composition, certification of course work from other institutions to satisfy this requirement is not encouraged by UC and CSU.
