<p>I know Roosevelt and Revelle do not take IGETC. Would my choices below be okay? I really don't want to do anymore GE, and would rather concentrate on my upper division classes. </p>

<p>Sixth College: 1, Earl Warren: 2, John Muir: 3, Thurgood Marshall: 4, Eleanor Roosevelt: 5, Revelle: 6</p>

<p>I posted this a while back. Most of the links are dead by now but it still gives a general idea.</p>

<p>These are the requirements for IGETC certified transfers taken from each college’s website:</p>

<p>Warren-3 upper division classes</p>

<p>“Three non-contiguous (unrelated to your major) upper-division courses are required. These courses must be taken at UCSD, must be 4.0 units each, and must be upper-division (courses numbered as 100 or above). They may be taken on a Pass/No Pass basis, and may be contiguous to each other. For transfer students entering before fall 2009, only two courses are required. View Transfer GE Chart for details.”</p>

<p>Academic Requirements</p>

<p>Marshall- 2 upper division classes, one of which must include significant writing (approved list available at <a href=“http://vac.ucsd.edu%5B/url%5D”>http://vac.ucsd.edu</a>)</p>

<p>Follow the link and go to Disciplinary Breadth Course Section. It says 4 courses, but if you go to the bottom it says IGETC students don’t need to take the two lower division ones.</p>

<p>Muir- I have heard two, but I’m not completely sure. Here are some links.</p>

<p>John Muir College :: Celebrating the Independent Spirit

<p>Sixth- 2 courses. One is a practicum course and the other is reflective writing. The practicum seems to be a project course where you do some sort of learning through community service project.</p>

<p>“If you transferred through the Transfer Preparation Programs (TAG Completed or IGETC Certified Program), you must take the upper-division Practicum course/ project and CAT 125”</p>

<p>GE Requirements - Transfer Students
Sixth College Practicum</p>

<p>Eleanor Roosevelt- 3 Making of the Modern World courses. That is all. Transfers usually take three of the following: MMW 1 (no writing required), MMW 4 or 4T (4T is for transfers only), MMW 5, and MMW 6. You have to take them in sequence, so either 1,4,5 or 4,5,6. 4-6 require 10 page papers at the end of the courses. As well as pre-writing every few weeks.</p>

<p>"IGETC Certified or IGETC partial (either are noted on Academic History)</p>

<ul>
<li>Complete any three MMW courses (all other GE courses will be waived)</li>
<li>Earn a minimum of 180 units (60 of which must be upper division) with a minimum UC GPA of 2.00"</li>
</ul>

Courses</p>

<p>Revelle- 8 courses on top of IGETC (3 calculus, 2 science, and 3 foreign language) It may be less depending upon what classes you have already taken.</p>

<p>"Calculus Requirement: IGETC requires one semester of math. Revelle requires 2 semesters (or 3 quarters) of calculus. "
“Science Requirement: IGETC requires two semesters (or 3 quarters) of science. Revelle requires a minimum of five quarters specifically in chemistry, physics and biology”
“Language Proficiency Requirement: Revelle requires a 3rd semester or 4th quarter of college level language to meet this requirement”</p>

<p>IGETC Plus</p>

<p>I think humanities and social science majors get boned in Revelle.</p>
