<p>At the beginning of the year I thought I was going to transfer to a CSU so i enrolled in a history class; Native American history. But now I've decided to transfer to a UC and UC's don't require history/gov. classes for IGETC. Should I just drop my history class now (with a "W" of course)? I'm not doing too well in that class anyways.. I'd say I'm going to get barely a B in that class.</p>
<p>I’m also taking a Nutrition class… which really isn’t required… considering I’m a math major applying to UC’s. I took it because I was going to transfer to a CSU and it fulfills one of the CSU areas. But I’m probably getting an A in it… this class will be counted in my GPA right?</p>

history? you can use them for IGETC AFAIK. I wouldn’t drop it since you need history to graduate from a UC anyways. check this out. <a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/resources/materials/ETS09/ETS09_TransferQ&A_FINAL.pdf[/url]”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/resources/materials/ETS09/ETS09_TransferQ&A_FINAL.pdf</a></p>
<p>@ iZychr: Are you sure that you need a sociology class to graduate? I mean you don’t NEED one for IGETC. I took sociology, and it was perfectly acceptable to satisfy the requirement. </p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that you don’t absolutely need a history class if you aren’t majoring in it. I’m a Psych major and the graduation requirements for Berkeley are:</p>
<p>1) 120 units completed.
2) 8 upper div classes completed.
3) 2 electives.</p>
<p>@ anth: I would drop the history/gov class. If you’re not enjoying it, and will barely manage a B/B-, I highly recommend dropping it. The UC’s won’t mind if you have a W or 2 or even 3. Plus, you have another 2 or 3 semesters before transferring (counting summer), and your summer/fall grades are what will matter the most. Stick it out in Nutrition if you’re getting an A…if it’s not UC transferrable, though, it won’t matter.</p>

did you check my link? it pretty much explains everything, so yeah.</p>
<p>sociology? I think you’re on the wrong page.</p>
<p>@emilsinclair9</p>
<p>yeah I don’t think it’s required for graduation… on my IGETC checklist paper it says
“U.S. History, Consistution, and American Ideals: CSU Graduation Requirement ONLY (not part of IGETC; may be completed prior to transfer”</p>
<p>I’m gonna ask my counselour about all this this monday though. But thank you guys for the feedback!</p>
<p>Yeah I did briefly :p. I think that it’s a great link, but how recent is it? I’m pretty certain that you don’t need history to graduate even though the link did say otherwise.</p>
<p>I mean I have IGETC finished without history and have gone 3 for 3 in the UC’s so far in admissions.</p>
<p>What you’re saying is that I’ll have to take a semester of history within the next 2 years at a UC, correct?</p>
<p>/facepalm</p>
<p>You’ll be needing to take it at a UC anyways…</p>
<p>@ iZychr: Sorry I meant history - not sociology. (In reference to my initial post).</p>
<p>@iZychr</p>
<p>where does it say that we have to take it at a UC?</p>
<p>On his link, it says on pages 5-6, but I’m still skeptical. I’ve just never heard of anybody “having” to take a history/gov class. I’ll take your word for it for now…unless someone else on here has other information. Thanks for the heads up, iZychr.</p>
<p>The link is official BTW. Go ask an admissions officer.</p>
