<p>I see on the Berkeley site that engineering majors can not use IGETC... is this true for ALL UC engineering programs. Also, what classes should I take at community college if I am applying as an engineering major. I go to De Anza college if that helps.</p>
<p>I believe most of the UC engineering schools don’t accept IGETC, but some do. The websites of the UC engineering schools to which you wish to apply should state whether they accept IGETC or not.</p>
<p>@Cayton alright, so what classes should i take at CC if I plan to major in engineering?</p>
<p>Focus on your engineering classes, first and foremost. They’re numerous and considered very difficult.</p>
<p>Even though you don’t need to complete IGETC for most UC engineering problems, they’ll most likely require prospective applicants to complete a special set and number of GE classes suited for engineers. Consult the website of the engineering school you want to apply to as well as your counselor for more information.</p>
<p>Check assist.org for your major’s pre-reqs. For each UC, it’ll probably tell you whether or not IGETC is recommended/allowed. Focus on your pre-reqs, that’s why most STEM majors don’t really want IGETC. You should also double check the [UC</a> min. requirements](<a href=“University of California Counselors”>University of California Counselors) and each school’s individual policies for any required GE classes.</p>
<p>In addition to checking major requirements at <a href=“http://www.assist.org”>http://www.assist.org</a> , for those campuses where IGETC is not accepted for engineering majors, look up the campus’ breadth requirements for engineering majors.</p>
<p>For example, Berkeley engineering majors have this requirement: <a href=“Humanities and Social Sciences - Berkeley Engineering”>http://engineering.berkeley.edu/student-services/degree-requirements/humanities-and-social-sciences</a> . For Berkeley purposes, it will be advantageous if you took the English R1A-R1B series and at least two additional humanities or social studies courses at CC before transfer. Preferably include some in subjects where you are interested in taking upper division courses, since there is an upper division requirement (two more courses) and a series requirement (two courses in the same department, at least one of which must be upper division) – CC courses are considered lower division.</p>
