<p>Forgive the ignorance of this question, but I'm rather confused. I've been looking through the GE reqs/major-minor reqs, and I was wondering, when UCSD says 'courses,' what do they mean? For instance, if it's, say, a language sequence, or a lit sequence or something, would 1A count as a 'course' or would a course mean taking 1A, B, and C?</p>
<p>Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>Welllll the language classes are weird in that they are each 2.5 units and you take two at at a time. So one course would be 1A+1AX, for example. 1A, B, and C is the whole sequence. </p>
<p>For normal classes, POLI 11 would be a course. Or SIO 30, for example. Usually they’re not grouped together like that.</p>
<p>Ohhh, I think I get it now. Thanks! ^^ Also, I was wondering–for GEs, it says that you can’t take any classes for your GEs that are offered by your major department. Does that mean you can’t take any, period, or you can’t COUNT those towards your major? (i.e. if your intended major = lit, you can’t take an introductory language class to fulfill a GE?)</p>
<p>Thank you in advance. .__.;;</p>
<p>You can’t have it count toward GE credit if it’s offered by your major’s department.</p>
<p>Let’s say you’re an anthropology major, and there’s an option to take ANTH 23 (lower division anthropology course) to fulfill part of your GE requirements. Even if taking ANTH 23 doesn’t count towards your major, you still can’t use it for GE’s. It would just count as an elective.</p>
<p>There could be exceptions though. I’m a poli sci major, and I was able to count Poli/Phil 27 to count for GE credit because 1) it’s a “poli/phil” class (shared by the philosophy and political science departments), and 2) it didn’t count toward my major. I still had to petition it, though.</p>
<p>Dang, that’s too bad. Hm… XP </p>
<p>Thanks for the info!</p>
