Applying for Advanced Education classes

Hi guys

I need some guidance on what classes to take at my local CC to fill GE requirements. One of my counselors said you simply take an English, Social Studies, Science, and Extra Curricular class while another referred to this thing called IGETC. I’m pretty confused…

All I’m trying to figure out is what classes are required to fill in GE requirements cause I’d like to have them done before I graduate(I’m in 11th grade).

Please help me out ASAP.
