<p>I am so confused with the general education requirements for LA. 1st, for the sciences GE, does the one course from each sub category have to be 5 units, or can you take multiple classes (in my case, I'm a chemistry major, and the chem classes are all 4 units and less). And also, how do the freshman clusters fit into the GE?? I am so confused I understand it gets rid of writing 2, lecture, lab, and all that crap, but how does it fit into the indivudual classes you are required to take?</p>
<p>1 Life science with a lab/demo (5 units)
1 Physical science with lab/demo (5 units)
1 Life science (4 or 5 units)
1 Physical science (4 or 5 units)</p>
<p>If you're a chemistry major, you don't really have toworry about the science GEs since your major classes will cover those anyways. I think you might have to take two classes (like LS 1 and 2) to fulfill the life science part though.</p>
<p>"how do the clusters fit into the individual classes?"</p>
<p>what do you mean? If you choose to take a certain cluster, it will fulfill certain GE foundation categories, so that you don't have to worry about taking GE classes for those categories anymore. Each quarter, you have one class for the cluster, for a total of three quarters. I'm not sure if that's what you're asking.</p>
<p>I have downloaded the list of GE courses for chemistry at the UCLA website, and all of them or 4 units or less. This leads me to believe that I will have to take one physical science class aside from chemistry thats a 5 unit course. Here is the list I am working with.</p>
<p>Ookla - thanks for the cluster information. I never looked close enough to realize that each quarter fulfills a different foundational requirement.</p>
<p>anybody have a link with the GE requirements for majors?</p>
<p>GE requirements are determined by the college, not the major.
so just work backwards from the above link and go here <a href="http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/ge/%5B/url%5D">http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/ge/</a> to get to the GE's for whatever particular college your major falls under.</p>
