GE Course

<p>Does anyone have the list of GE courses required to graduate? I’ll be majoring in Biological Sciences if that makes a difference in terms of GE reqs.</p>

<p>The reason I am asking is so I take the right course over the summer. One that counts and eliminates a requirement.</p>

<p>THANKS! ~</p>

<p>Check here: [UC</a> Davis General Catalog | General Education Requirement](<a href=“http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/UCDwebcatalog/ugraded/gereqt.html]UC”>http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/UCDwebcatalog/ugraded/gereqt.html) :)</p>

<p>It’s basically
6 GE courses in topical breadth—3 courses in each of the two subject areas other than your major’s assigned area (so Arts and Humanities and Social Sciences)
1 GE course in social-cultural diversity
3 GE courses in writing experience</p>

<p>^ Thanks! I found it shortly after. :D</p>

<p>Question: I’m confused… Some courses are on both lists, Arts & Humanities and Social Sciences. Does that mean two courses can knock out 4 GE Course requirements?</p>

<p>Look next to the course name and see if D and W appear next to it…I think that means that course satisfies two GE requirements.</p>

<p>So here’s what I learned.</p>

<p>Arts and Humanities:
History 17A D W(AP Credit)
History 17B D W(AP credit)
Philosophy 1 D W(College Credit)
Philosophy 14 D W(College credit)</p>

<p>Arts and Humanities - 3 courses CHECK
Social and Diversity course(s) - 1 course needed CHECK (The above four courses can be used for Social Diversity)
Writing Experience(s) - 3 courses CHECK ( The above four courses are valid for W courses too).
Social Science(s) - 3 courses left!</p>

<p>AP’s don’t count towards GE’s</p>

<p>^ really?!</p>

<p>Damnit … So I just need one more class that is in Arts & Humanities. </p>

<p>cutie, you are allowed to use one course to fulfill multiple requirements right?</p>

<p>Like Philosophy can be used for Arts, Writing Experience, and Social Diversity. -</p>

<p>Yeah AP won’t fulfill GE…will JC transfer courses?</p>

<p>^ I think so.</p>

<p>yes u r allowed to double/triple/quadruple dip</p>

<p>dunno about JC courses, but I would imagine they are fine</p>

<p>On that note…what course(s) at Davis will triple? :)</p>

<p>well that depends on what college your major is</p>

<p>but for science/engineering i think one of the religious studies classes is a triple dip</p>

the ones with a cross/T next to them also count for another college</p>

<p>what’s the point of taking APs?</p>

<p>^CREDITS!!!</p>

<p>i am a year ahead (45 units) in credits, so my pass time is several days ahead of most of my peers</p>

<p>also, taking courses for the second time = A+</p>

<p>oh and also the fact that i am bored to tears in a regular hs class
and they r extremely useful for getting ADMITTED :)</p>

<p>Lol loveflies…I don’t think AP classes are optional, they’re required to get into a UC :P</p>

<p>wait, what do you mean “credits” hahaha</p>

<p>sorry i’m college stupid ; )</p>

<p>you get units/credits for every class you take. usually 4. passing the ap test will usually give you some amount of units.</p>

<p>your pass time is based on the number of units you have</p>
