<p>So being the unlucky person I am, I am a chem major and only have sci/eng GE’s (there was absolutely nothing else to take). Does anyone know if there are any benefits to this… if any? I know theres a pass 2 and waitlisting, but in case I really don’t get any other GEs outside the sci/eng field.</p>
<p>Also, all these sci/eng classes have nothing related to my major. Would taking them be sort of useless? I didn’t get any chem class because they were all closed.</p>
<p>Unless they give Writing or Diversity, you don't get anything except units from SciEng GE classes, unless they are of interest you want to explore.</p>
<p>The only way they are going to contribute to your requirements is by fulfilling unrestricted elective units (unless they fulfill Div or Wrt GE requirements). This isn't really a bad thing at all... you have all four years to fulfill your other GE requirements.</p>
<p>What about classes like a language class? What GE requirements do they fulfill? I took a look at the course descriptions in the general catalog and they didn't state anything.</p>
<p>(I was chem major also)</p>
<p>Your major's classes will satisfy your Sci GE requirement. Heck, some of the upper division chem courses you need to take even count for writing (115, 125).</p>
<p>Look for classes that satisfy multiple GE's, like ENT1 which can be Sci or Arts/Hum - then you can make it count for Arts/Hum. Or NAS5, which is diversity, writing, and Arts/Hum (Yea for 3-in-one classes)</p>
<p>Every possible Art/Hum or Soc Sci GE class can't be full, so you might not get your first choice in class, but it's better to take a boring class that counts for something rather than something sciencey that counts for nothing. In general I hated satisfying the GE requirements, it would have been nice not to do them, but oh well.</p>
<p>In the very back of the course catalog there is just a general list of ALL courses that satisfy each GE requirement (Page 492 in mine), then you can flip back & read the course description.</p>
