<p>English major here. I've taken College Algebra and stopped there, thinking that's all the math I need. Now I base this on the general IGETC UC and CSU form... but when I look at the articulation agreement between my CC and UCB, I do not see College Algebra listed... instead I'd need something like Calculus?</p>
<p>If you are following IGETC then college algebra is all you need to transfer.</p>
<p>Take statistics! It's the most non-mathy math out there, I think, and I'm pretty sure the UCs accept it to fulfill the college requirement. I can't do math for the life of me (don't ever tell me the time in 24-hour time, it'll take me entire minutes to figure it out), and I got an A- in it.</p>
<p>That's odd. I fulfilled IGETC with college algebra and I'm currently at UCB.</p>
<p>You have taken all the math you need so you don't need to take another math class.</p>
<p>You guys brought tears to my eyes. Tears of joy. Thank you.</p>
<p>Be very careful w/ the math part of the IGETC. Most schools require that you take a quantitative reasoning in the math section of IGETC that is transferable. Since Algebra is not transferable it usually will not fulfill that IGETC portion requirement. Usually you need to take statistics or math discovery, etc. One of those will fulfill your QR requirement. I know this because I worked in the transfer center for a year and have seen people w/ a 4.0 GPA get turned down because of not having that portion fulfilled. I suggest you contact your CCC transfer center advisor and make sure that you have taken the correct class to fulfill that requirement.</p>
<p>College algebra generally is transferable, luvtoolearn.</p>
<p>usually not until you start getting into linear algebra classes (northern California CC) . and since guin did not disclose what area or school he/she is attempting to transfer from we do not know what college level of Algebra they have completed. Thats why I rec checking w/ the transfer center to make sure its the correct class, especially when the articulation is not listing his/her math class as such</p>
<p>In our school catalog the description of college algebra starts with linear algebra. It would be really weird for any community college to have a college algebra course that does not cover linear algebra. Considering that linear algebra is basically high school math it would not make sense to have a course named college algebra if it did not teach college level mathematics.</p>
<p>The entire losrios community college district in Northern California that encompasses a huge geographic area including SCC,FLC,ARC,CRC...etc all have the math classes set up like that where linear algebra is the only tranferable algebra class. Again, thats why I suggest guin contact his/her college instead of going completely off of our experiences at our own ccc which may or may not be accurate for everyone.</p>
<p>Just to be clear something up, there's linear algebra, and then there's Linear Algebra. College algebra does deal with lines like y=ax+b and related forms, but Linear Algebra deals with a whole different slew of math and is generally taken around the same time as Differential Equations sometime after your first single variable Calculus course.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the responses!</p>
<p>I took Math 3, titled "College Algebra," from Pasadena CC. The course description states:"Functions, relations and graphs; inverse functions; inequalities; theory of equations; introduction to matrices; determinants; binomial theorem; sequences and series; permutations and combinations; probability. For mathematics and science majors, but open to all qualified students. Total of 90 hours lecture. Transfer Credit: CSU; UC credit limitations. See counselor. *CAN: MATH 10 Grading: Letter Grade or Credit/No Credit"</p>
<p>Now that little "UC limitations" part brought me to my original question. In the IGETC, it is listed as one the classes that can fulfill the Area 2 section. However, as asked in my original question, the agreement between PCC and UCB does not list Math 3... only the following is listed:</p>
<p>CS 10 Pascal (4)
CS 43 FORTRAN (4)
CIS 36 Introduction to Visual (3) BASIC
CIS 66 Assembly Language (3) Programming
MATH 5A Calculus (5)
MATH 5B Calculus (5)
MATH 5C Calculus (5)
MATH 10 Linear Algebra and (5) Applications
MATH 55 Differential Equations (5)
STAT 15 Statistics for Business (4) and Economics
STAT 18 Statistics for (4) Behavioral and Social Sciences
STAT 50 Elementary Statistics (4)</p>
<p>I applied to the UCs for the coming fall 08.. it would be too late for me to upgrade to Calculus. I hope College Algebra will suffice or perhaps, I need to take up Elementary Statistics?</p>
<p>I would take statistics to be safe</p>
<p>I think you're confusing courses that satisfy the IGETC with courses that satisfy UCB's GEs. The page that lists CS 10, CS 43, etc. is the articulation agreement to fulfill UCB's Quantitative Reasoning. The page that lists Math 3, Math 5A, etc. has ALL of the UC Transferable Courses and the ones that have 'UC-M" to the side will fulfill the IGETC requirement.</p>
<p>Just so you are sure that your course is transferable, select your CCC, then click on UC Transferable Courses below.</p>
<p>Adding to what alansda is saying, I think that the question for the OP is, what requirement are you afraid you're not going to meet?</p>
<p>We can't tell you if your class will satisfy the requirement unless we know what the requirement you're trying to pass is.</p>
<p>Sorry about the confusion!</p>
<p>It's for the "MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS AND QUANTITATIVE REASONING" Area 2 section of IGETC and the Quantitative requirement for Berkeley.</p>
<p>I am concerned that College Algebra (Math 3), though listed as transferrable in the IGETC Area 2, is acceptable to some UCs and not UCB... since in the articulation agreement on assist.org, in UCB's Quantitative Requirement section, College Algebra is not listed as a course accepted.</p>
<p>"since in the articulation agreement on assist.org, in UCB's Quantitative Requirement section, College Algebra is not listed as a course accepted."
That's because, as we've explained, that articulation agreement is for UCB's GE requirements, not for IGETC.</p>
<p>Just fulfill IGETC and you don't have to worry about each campus' own GE reqs.</p>
<p>I'd actually like to know the answer to this question as well. </p>
<p>And I'm guessing that if there is no "+" next to the course on Assist then all UC and CSU schools accept that to fulfill the IGETC requirement and you don't need to take any other classes than that?</p>
<p>guin,</p>
<p>I think my confusion was over the "quantitative requirement" at Berkeley. If you're referring to the L&S Breadth Quantitative Reasoning requirement, then as alansda has said you don't need to worry about it. (;</p>
<p>I just wanted to make sure you weren't talking about optometry, or some weird degree for which I'm not familiar with the requirements.</p>
<p>Hope this helps,
Joe</p>
