UCSD - GE Requirements for 6 Colleges ENGINEERING MAJOR

<p>So unlike most of the people here, I will not complete IGETC before transferring. (Since I am an engineering major and it actually isn't recommended to complete IGETC)</p>

<p>However, I was looking at the IGETC requirements, and if I take one more class, I can have Partial IGETC completed (Will have all the required classes except 2 - Critical Thinking (Area 1B) and a Biological Course in Area 5.)</p>

<p>Would it be worth it for me to take that one class and get partial IGETC? Would partial IGETC even matter/help for the six colleges at UCSD?</p>

<p>I was wondering which colleges would be the best to transfer in as an engineering major (I have plenty of math/science classes) so that I would have to take the least amount of GEs.</p>

<p>I've done plenty of research and I know everyone says Warren or Muir is the best, however I'm assuming its for those that have completed IGETC. </p>

<p>From my research, I'm guessing Revelle would be the best? Could someone clarify/expand? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>You are right about the fact that as an engineering major you don’t need to finish igetc, but the critical thinking requirement is a requirement for admission to any uc or csu school so you’ll definitely want to complete that </p>

<p>[UC</a> San Diego Six College System](<a href=“http://admissions.ucsd.edu/colleges/]UC”>http://admissions.ucsd.edu/colleges/) has links to the six colleges and descriptions of their breadth requirements.</p>

<p>[Transfer</a> Preparation](<a href=“http://admissions.ucsd.edu/transfers/prep-programs/]Transfer”>http://admissions.ucsd.edu/transfers/prep-programs/) includes some description of IGETC use on breadth requirements (but you probably need to check each of the colleges for full details).</p>
