<li>I got in to Thurgood Marshall College and was wondering if anyone one knows what the "writing intensive" GE requirement entails? Maybe its a stupid question, but what classes, exactly, would fulfill that?</li>
</ol>

<p>2.And I know once I transfer I have to take 90 units to graduate, but does that mean 90 upper division units, or just 90 period? Meaning, I can take some lower division electives and have them count towards graduation, right?</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Also, to minor in a subject, do you have to take all the lower division requirements as though you were going to major in it? For example, I am a history major, and would like to minor in anthropology if possible, so do I have to take all the prerequisites as though I was going to double major? </p></li>
<li><p>Do you have to take all the lower division courses before you can take any upper division, or does that vary by class?</p></li>
<li><p>When a prerequisite says "must have upper division standing," what does that mean? Just that you are either a junior or senior, or that you have completed all the lower division work in the major?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks in advance. Any insight is appreciated!</p>

<p>1) You have to take a two quarter writing class called Dimensions of Culture that’s about race/law/identity in the U.S.</p>

<p>2) 90 total, between upper and lower division (most will be lower division.)</p>

<p>3) Don’t know about minors</p>

<p>4) Most upper division courses have pre-reqs. You can get authorization to take upper division courses, but you’d have to email your advisor. </p>

<p>5) Requires lower division work for that specific class, similar to what you have to go through in question 4.</p>
