<p>What should I dooooooo???? Doesn't this mean I need to take 7 classes + 1 American cultures????
8 classes take almost a year!! There is no way I can finish 8 courses+my 10+ major requirments in 2 years.
I want to have a minor. Do I have to give up my minor only because my stupid CC does not offer seven-course hell requirment?
Should I talk to them??Do you think they will have any exception?</p>

<p>yes it does</p>

<p>From what I understand, as long as you are IGETC certified, you do not have to take the 7-course breadth. IGETC lets Berkeley know that you have fulfilled the equivalent of their breadth requirements. However, you will still need to take the AC course.</p>

<p>My community college had a list that signifies what courses count for IGETC. Can you talk to a counselor at your JC and find out if they have a similar list?</p>
