What do I apply for?

I am a senior in high school, and I plan on applying to either political science or business for community college, and then I plan on applying to UCSB or UCD for the TAG program. However, when I apply to my cc, do I apply for IGETC? or do I apply for a GE transfer? Or an AA? please help!!!

You just start classes at the CCC. You need to take two placement tests - math and English. Take those as soon as you can. Then you just go to assist.org and start completing the required courses for your major. You also start completing IGETC. The courses for each section are online at your CCC website and in the schedules. After you get accepted to a UC, that final June, you need to apply for IGETC certification at the CCC. It’s a form you fill out. You don’t apply until you have completed all the IGETC courses. So just choose from the IGETC list. Your majors would fall into IGETC (not GE) except for Berkeley’s Haas, which has s separate GE path, but for all intents and purposes just follow IGETC. You can talk to an advisor about it, but it’s not worth getting you confused as it’s not that crucial.
