<p>I have a friend who recently transferred and these are this GE requirements.</p>
<p>GE's for IGETC Transfers:
2 four-unit upper-division courses outside your major field of study, including one upper division writing-intensive course</p>
<p>Does anyone have a list of what a "writing-intensive course" is? I couldnt find it anywhere.</p>
<p>I’m not sure, but I think “writing-intensive” just means there was a major writing component to the class, e.g. most history, ethnic studies, and literature classes. Many social science or humanities classes would count, although a microeconomics or acting class wouldn’t count unless you wrote a paper.</p>
<p>I doubt there is a list just because there are so many schools with different courses that they may not have bothered to put together a list per school.</p>
<p>Well these are his GE requirements at UCSD so i was hoping there was one. I’m helping him register soon and I’m worried that we choose a class and find out later that it doesnt count.</p>
<p>If you’re talking about UCSD GE classes there’s a list for Marshall:</p>

<p>Thanks momosky. Thats exactly what i was looking for. May I ask where you found it? :)</p>
<p>vac.ucsd.edu is your best friend for GE, majors and advising stuff 
just a heads up for new transfers/students, I think you have to be already registered for classes in order to access it…</p>
<p>Yeah, i usually use that but it usually takes a few days and i was hoping for a more immediate answer. I was able to access it my freshman year before i registered for classes though, so it’s a great tool if you’re not in a big rush.</p>
<p>vac has lists of ge-approved classes and 4 year plans too. For actual questions I’d rather go straight to the office because it does take days for them to reply :</p>
