<p>Does anybody know about IGE (Interdisciplinary General Ed, I think)? My daughter got a letter about it, but were still confused. If any current students know about it can you give some pros and cons to help her decide if its right for her. Shes a first time freshman, architecture major.</p>
<p>My son is an incoming freshman (mech. engineering) and I am encouraging him to do IGE. I feel like the small classes will be helpful to him and make it easier for him to communicate with professors and make some friends. Plus, I like the fact that they get an Arts package with it and can be exposed to plays, music, etc.</p>
<p>I can’t say I know too much about it, but I received a letter about it as well. (I’m an incoming freshman as well) It looks pretty helpful and fun to me, so I think I might give it a try.</p>
<p>For architecture, it would be very complementary. IGE is what is keeping Cal Poly Pomona from becoming a trade school and more of a wholesome university. IGE incorporates the liberal arts into the general education curriculum and encourages more student to student and teacher interaction. These are skills that will be necessary in a broad multi-disciplinary field such as architecture. I highly recommend it.</p>
