Berkeley: American Cultures req?

<p>^ Ah I already plan to do that and thanks for the tip I’m going to also watch for that.</p>

<p>i’m also taking multivariable at cc and hoping to take accounting online through cal extension lol, but thankfully i’ve already met my american cultures requirement randomly through music 8 online at foothill which i’m doing now…not sure if it’s offered over summer, but there are literally about 400-500 students taking it this quarter lol, lots and lots of spaces and it’s mega easy…oh, and possible to finish the entire course with an A in a week lol</p>

<p>Assist says my school doesn’t offer any AC classes :frowning: Boo for Fullerton!</p>

<p>Hey, ya I took Phot8H and am currently taking Mus8H right now. :slight_smile:
Photo 8 and Music 8 are very very easy, and Music 8 is actually the most popular online class at our school. You only need 2500 (roughly half the points available–pick and choose) to get an A.
I think it’s better to take it at a CC ASAP than using up class time/tuition fees!</p>

<p>^and you only need 2000 points if you don’t take it as honors lol</p>

<p>oh, it’s 2000? hahaha my bad!!</p>

<p>did u guys satisfy the American History and Institutions Requirements?</p>

<p>for that one we just need ONE course from this right?

  • HIST 7A, or HIST 7B, or POL SCI 1.</p>

<p>i’m not sure if you just need one course or two…i’m satisfying it with ap us history and ap us government and politics</p>

<p>^do we satisfy it by passing AP US history and AP us government, or we need to get a score of 4 or something on the AP test?</p>

<p>umm…i’m not sure, i got 5’s…but i’ll look it up in a sec</p>

<p>EDIT: you just need 3’s, so passing</p>

i found it too. i guess we just need to pass the class, or we can just take one history course or polisci course from CCC, which i did. i guess now i jsut need that AC course</p>

<p>Are there any other required general education courses besides fulfilling the IGETC and the American Cultures requirement for Berkeley?</p>

<p>^just the american history and institutions requirements that me and lomkh were talking about. most people should have already satisfied it though</p>

<p>^kk thanks celticsfan.</p>

<p>I will be able to take this anytime when I am at Berkeley before I graduate, correct? I will be transferring to Berkeley for Fall 2010, but have not fulfilled the American Cultures requirement yet. When is the latest I could complete this? As for petitioning to see if a course would fulfill the requirement that is not on the list, where should I go?</p>

<p>Yes. You can fulfill the American Cultures requirement anytime you are at Cal. </p>

<p>Also keep in mind that for the College of Letters and Science (which most majors are in), you need a minimum of 6 upper division units outside your major. </p>

<p>Because I want to concentrate on classes in my major, I will be taking an upper division class that satisfies the AC requirement. That way I only have to take two classes outside my major. (I regret that that is all I can take, as I am interested in other things besides philosophy, but I already have a pretty full schedule just getting all the philosophy requirements done.)</p>

<p>That AC requirement is tough to find. My CCC doesn’t have a class that matches up the AC req.</p>

<p>so for these upper div units, they can be from ANY subject right? say i want to take an upperdiv that’s almost completely unrelated to my major (sociology) but i’ve completed the pre-reqs for it. could i still take it? thx</p>

<p>iZychr, if you want to really easily knock that requirement out of the way, I strongly recommend taking the online version of Music 8 at Foothill College over the summer. It is notoriously easy and pretty interesting too</p>

<p>It’s full with a waitlist.</p>
