UCSD Six Colleges Question

<p>I got accepted to Thurgood Marshall College. It has prerequisites and GE requirements listed in it and I guess each college has different requirements.</p>

<p>QUESTION: I used IGETC to finish my GE, so does that waive my duty as a Thurgood resident to finish their specific curriculum?</p>

<p>Nope. you still need to complete their college requisites for graduating.</p>

<p>you can see what they are on the UCSD TAG application.</p>

<p>No way, that's retarded.</p>

<p>Just found these: <a href="http://marshall.ucsd.edu/pdfs/GE_SHEET.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://marshall.ucsd.edu/pdfs/GE_SHEET.pdf&lt;/a> and <a href="http://marshall.ucsd.edu/pdfs/breadth.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://marshall.ucsd.edu/pdfs/breadth.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>xleper, don't scare me like that.</p>

<p>samK: UCSD is in their own league. It'll probably take me 3 years to finish if I were to transfer there</p>

<p>bah??</p>

<p>i'm talking about upper division. ex: Warren wants transfer students to take two upper division courses that are not related to their major before they can graduate.</p>

<p>Oh, I might need to look into that. Why would it take you 3 years to finish after transferring to ucsd lackofsense? its only going to take me 4 quarters.</p>

<p>if i go to muir, i apparently need to take a muir writing course. i forgot already, lol, nice.</p>

<p>Are you sure; "The general education requirements
for freshmen and those transfer students not following an approved curriculum plan include:» nce enti tled Dimensions of Culture (includes university-level writi ng)
» One course each in Biology, Chemistry and Physics
» Two courses in Humaniti es and Culture
» One course in Fine Arts
» Four courses in Disciplinary Breadth
» Opti onal Public Service course
» Minors are not required, but encouraged.". Unless you aren't IGETC certified?</p>

<p>Prospective</a> Students: Core Curricula and General Education Requirements</p>

<p>On that page are links that explain the GE requirements for transfers for each college.</p>

<p>For Marshall (with IGETC completed):</p>

<p>Accepted as total completion of lower-division GE requirements if certified by your last community college
Minimum of 15 4-unit upper-division courses, 2 of which must be noncontiguous to the major</p>

<p>Warren is the same as Marshall, and if I remember correctly the other four all require more than Warren and Marshall.</p>

<p>I was also accepted into Marshall. (The first choice I put on the app was Warren, but Marshall is just as good)</p>

<p>Eirenarch: So if I've read correctly I don't have to take anymore lower division courses for Marshall after I'm IGETC cert?</p>

<p>Does this mean that I have to finish a minimum of 15 4-unit upper-div courses to completely graduate, or is this required in addition to my major?</p>

<p>I'm not entirely sure how this relates to graduation, but I do know that if you are IGETC and you go to Marshall or Warren, all you have to do to satisfy GE is take two upper division classes unrelated to your major. The other colleges have different requirements.</p>

<p>It's worth noting that you don't need IGETC, you can also fullfill the GE requirements like normal (it may be that your transferrable classes already do that, even if you aren't IGETC certified). But english classes at CCC tend to not fullfill the writing requirements at UCSD from what I've seen, and I'm doing IGETC specifically to avoid having to take those as I have a really hard time with writing classes.</p>

<p>OK, i'm really confused now. </p>

<p>Sociology: A total of twelve upper-division courses are required to complete a sociology major.
Thurgood: Minimum of 15 4-unit upper-division courses, 2 of which must be noncontiguous to the major</p>

<p>So this means that I need to take 12 Sociology upperdivs, 2 unrelated upperdivs (from any other major) and 1 more from where?</p>

<p>Also: UCSD Articulation Breadth Agreement
Complete 2 6-unit lower-division courses from the "Dimensions of Culture" sequence</p>

<p>I'm not sure how graduation requirements are figured out, but when they say the degree requires 12 upper division sociology courses, that doesn't mean there are only 12 at the school. In order to meet a 15 course requirement there should be an extra sociology course you can take so that you still only have to take 2 courses unrelated to your major. Also, for clarification, when they say "noncontiguous" courses they do mean courses that are completely unrelated to your major (ie a physics major can't fullfill them by taking biology courses, since they are both sciences), but that third course you may have to take can be from anywhere.</p>
