Hi, I was accepted to UCLA as a MCDB major. I need to take one more class in either the arts or humanities to finish the IGETC requirements, so I could do it over the summer. Should I? What are the benefits. I know UCLA has a diversity requirement I need to take there.
Thanks!
Well, I guess if you only have only one left it will clean the slate across the board. The only way to know if you’ve already completed the gen ed side for UCLA is to look at your college and see its req for gen ed. Often they have extra, like another year of language, etc. If you find you have completed all, then finishing IGETC is not going to accomplish much. On the other hand, completing at this late stage gives peace of mind.
You may want to compare how many remaining GE requirements you would have at UCLA in the IGETC versus non-IGETC cases.
