<p>This is my first year in college, and I'm taking classes at a local community college. So far, I'm taking two classes from Area 4, which requires three classes related to social and behavior sciences. I'm taking a sociology class and a U.S. Women's History class. I plan on finishing up Area 4 next semester by taking one more class in that area, but would one be enough? How would it look on my transcript?</p>
<p>I'm going for a science major, by the way, so these classes aren't all that relevant to my major. Please let me know.</p>
<p>Area 4 of the IGETC requires at least 3 courses from 2 different disciplines. Taking an additional course from Area 4 next semester would meet your requirement.</p>
<p>They are GE classes so it’s expected that they are not related to your major. The point of them is to expand your breadth of knowledge to different topics outside of your intended field of study.</p>
<p>Also make sure that you decide whether you are going to a CSU or UC. If you are going to a CSU then you need classes on Public Speaking, American Government, & History.</p>
