Intersegmental General Education (IGETC) Transfer Curriculum
Completion of the IGETC will permit a student to complete their lower division G.E. requirements to either the California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) system. Courses on this list are approved for the academic year 2023-2024 which begins Fall Semester, 2023. This list is valid through Summer 2024. It should be noted that completion of the IGETC is not a requirement for transfer to CSU or UC, nor is it the only way to fulfill the lower-division general education requirements of the CSU or UC prior to transfer. A grade of “C” or higher is required in ALL coursework used for IGETC certification.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Students enrolled in high unit majors (i.e., architecture, computer science, engineering, sciences) are frequently recommended not to use IGETC
to meet general education certification but rather to meet transfer admission requirements and complete required lower division major and
support courses. See your counselor to develop an academic educational plan.
It is recommended that all IGETC requirements be completed prior to transfer. If you are unable to complete one or two IGETC courses in the
final term before transfer, you may be eligible to complete IGETC after transfer, providing that those courses are not among those required for
admission. See your counselor for more information.
Students requesting IGETC “pass-along” certification must complete at least 3 transferable units at FC
(11/2024)
IGETC for STEM: Students pursuing Biology and Chemistry ADTs may complete the following:
- IGETC for STEM (31 units); and
- Defer one lower-division course in Area C or Area 3 Arts and Humanities and one lower-division course in Area D or Area 4 Social and Behavioral Sciences until after transfer.
- IGETC for STEM is applicable only to majors for which the Transfer Model Curriculum (TMC) specifies. A current list of TMCs that allow IGETC for STEM can be found at https://c-id.net/tmc.
A California Community College (CCC) preparing IGETC for STEM certification as part of an ADT shall ensure that the student has completed the following before transfer:
- All courses in Areas 1, 2, 5, and 7 of the traditional IGETC; and
- One course in Area 3A Arts; one course in Area 3B Humanities; and one course in Area 4.
- Two courses in Area 4 Social and Behavioral Sciences from two different disciplines.
Complete the following courses after transfer:
- One remaining lower-division general education course in Area 3;
- One remaining lower-division general education course in Area 4; and
- One course in Area 6 for UC-bound students who have not satisfied it through proficiency.
