Các bạn nên nhớ, mỗi ngành nghề có yêu cầu giáo dục phổ thông khác nhau, khi các bạn đã chọn cho mình được một nghề thích hợp thì vào website của trường xem phần "DEGREE REQUIREMENTS" sẽ biết rõ bằng của mình chọn yêu cầu những gì.
I - CSUGE - California State University System General Education
AREA A - Communication in English and Critical Thinking yêu cầu 9 semester units hay 15 quater semester units
- A1 - Oral Communication (Hay SPEECH) tuỳ chọn 1 lớp gồm các lớp: ENG 118, ENG 119, ENG 120.
- A2 - Written Communication (Bắt buộc) ENG 1A hay còn gọi là ENG 101
- A3 - Critical Thinking - tuỳ chọn ENG 102, ENG 103; Philosophy 101, 102
Ví dụ: Học sinh A lấy: ENG 101 + ENG 102 và Philosophy 101 thì xem như đã thoả mãn yêu cầu của phần "AREA A" và lớp Philosophy cũng có thể dùng để thoả mãn yêu cầu của phần "C2". Như như bớt được 1 lớp, và thay vào đó sẽ lấy lớp thuộc chuyên khoa của mình.
AREA B - Physical and Life Science Math Concepts and Reasoning 9 units
- B1 - Physical Science (Community college bắt buộc để cấp bằng AA/AS nếu mục tiêu là bằng BA/BS tuỳ theo major thì khỏi cần lấy)
- Chemistry 100, 102, 104, 106, 108
- Geography 102
- Geology 102, 104, 110
- Physical Science 100, 120
- Physics 100, 102, 104
- Water Resources Technician 102
- B2
Life Science 1 Class
- Anthropology 120 (L)
- Biology 100, 102, 104, 106, 110, 112, 140, 210 - B3
Lab Science
- Anthropology 120(L)
- Biology 102, 104, 106, 110, 112, 210
- Chemistry 100, 102, 104, 106
- Geology 102, 104
- Physics 102, 104
- Physical Science 100
- Water Resources Technician 102 - B4
- Math Concepts
- Math 110, 112, 116, 202, 218, 220
Phần "AREA B" yêu cầu 3 lớp, giả sử học sinh nào chọn major là: Biomedical, biotech, medicine, civil hay những ngành sẽ đòi hỏi khoa học tự nhiên thì xem phần "Degree Requirements" trên đại học yêu cầu những lớp nào học hết những lớp này dưới community college. Ví dụ Biotech & Biomedical engineer thì lấy: Calculus I, II, III; Chemistry I, II, III; Physics 102, 104; BIO 102, 104, 106, 110, 112, 210. Như vậy có nghĩa là những lớp GE và Pre-major xem như đã học hết ở community college (14 lớp x 3 semester unit/credit = 42 unit/credit, và bằng bachelor of science yêu cầu 120 semester unit/credit xem như học sinh này đã đi được 1/3 đoạn đường.
AREA C - Arts, Literature, Philosophy and Foreign Language 9 units
(Học sinh bắt buộc phải lấy 1 lớp ở C1 và C2)
C1 – ART Tuỳ chọn 1 lớp
- Art 100, 107, 109, 116, 117
- English 128
- Humanities 100, 101, 128
- Music 110
- Theatre 105, 106
C2 Humanities Tuỳ chọn 1 lớp
- American Sign Language 130, 132

- French 101, 102
- German 102, 104
- Honors 272, 274, 276, 280, 284, 288
- Philosophy 100, 101, 102, 103
- Spanish 101, 102, 201, 202
Học sinh A ví dụ ở trên đã lấy lớp Philosophy xem như đã thoả mãn yêu cầu của “C2”, phần AREA C chỉ cần lấy 2 lớp ART hay tuỳ chọn là trả nợ xong.
AREA D Social, Political, and Economic Institutions 9 units
(Học sinh không được phép học hơn 2 lớp trong cùng 1 khoa để thoả mãn yêu cầu của phần này)
- Administration of Justice 102
- American Sign Language 160
- Anthropology 100, 104, 106, 150
- Biology 142
- Business 106, 108
- Child Development 153, 162
- English 122
- Geography 104, 150
- History 102, 104, 106, 108, 110, 120, 124, 130, 140, 150
- Honors 274, 278, 282, 288
- Political Science 101, 140
- Psychology 102, 130
- Sociology 100, 102, 150
Học nhẹ nhàng và thoả mãn yêu cầu ở AREA khác, học sinh B sẽ chọn “American Sign Language” + “Biology” + Political Science. Sign language sẽ hữu dung cho đời sống sau này khi cần nói chuyện với những người bị khuyết tật, Political science dễ học và dễ lấy đuợc con A, Biology vưa thoả mãn cho phần khoa học và vừa là pre-major của nhiều ngành. Mua một được 3.
AREA E - Lifelong Understanding & Self Development 3 units
Students may apply no more than 1 unit of PE for fulfillment of this requirement
- Biology 135
- Family and Consumer Science 170
- Health 100
- Pack Station 101A-C
- Physical Education -- any activity class
- Psychology 102, 135
- Outdoor Recreation Leadership 107
American Institutions - Group 1: History 108, 110
- Group 2: Political Science 101
Phần yêu cầu này học sinh A & B đã học ở phần khác, cho nên không cần phải mất thì giờ học “AREA E”, thời gian sẽ dành cho các lớp Pre-major hay lower division major.
II - The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC)
là yêu cầu giáo dục phổ thông của California Univesity System, cũng tương tự như CSUGE chỉ thêm phần foreign language
- 1.English Communication
One course in English composition and one course in critical thinking/English composition. 6 semester units or 8-10 quarter units - 2. Mathematical Concepts and Quantitative Reasoning - Calculus I (1 lớp) 3 semester units or 5 quarter units
Arts and Humanities – 3 lớp hay 9 semester units or 12-15 quarter units
Three courses with at least one from the arts and one from the humanities - 4. Social and Behavioral Sciences
Three courses from at least two disciplines, or an interdisciplinary sequence 9 semester units or 12-15 quarter units - 5. Physical and Biological Sciences 9 semester units or 12-15 quarter units
One physical science course and one biological science or course, at least one of which includes a laboratory - 6. Language Other than English *
Proficiency equivalent to two years of high school courses in the same language. Not required of students transferring to CSU.
UC Berkeley:
IGETC is acceptable for all majors in the College of Letters and Science. The Haas School of Business and the colleges of Engineering and Chemistry have extensive, prescribed major prerequisites. In general, IGETC is not appropriate preparation for majors in these colleges. Although IGETC satisfies breadth requirements for most majors in the College of Natural Resources, specific lower-division major requirements must still be satisfied. Be sure to check with the college or visit the ASSIST website for more information.
UC Davis:
IGETC works well for students planning for Bachelor of Arts majors with few units of lower-division preparation. Bachelor of Science degrees and high-unit majors often have many courses of lower-division preparation. In these cases, the UC Davis general education pattern is the best choice.
UC Irvine:
All schools accept IGETC as an alternative to the UC Irvine General Education Requirement. Completion of IGETC is not required for admission to UC Irvine; selection by the campus is based on demonstrated academic achievement and preparation for the intended major. IGETC may not be appropriate for transfer students in engineering, mathematics, or science majors. Students who elect to follow IGETC are strongly encouraged to complete it in its entirety prior to enrolling at UC Irvine
UC Los Angeles:
Completion of IGETC, UCLA general education requirements, or another UC campus’s breadth requirements is highly recommended for applicants to the College of Letters and Science and the School of the Arts and Architecture. Applicants to the School of Theater, Film, and Television must complete one of the aforementioned general education paths. The School of Nursing accepts IGETC, however, applicants to this major and to The Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science are strongly encouraged to work towards the respective schools curriculum requirements. (Note: The Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science does NOT accept IGETC).
UC Merced:
The schools of Engineering and Natural Sciences accept IGETC but do not recommend it. The School of Social Sciences, Humanities, and Arts recommends IGETC but does not require it for admission.
UC Riverside:
The Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering accepts completion of IGETC to satisfy the majority of the college's breadth requirements for transfer students. Some additional breadth coursework may be required after enrollment. However, prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to focus instead on preparatory coursework for their desired major, such as mathematics, science and other technical preparatory coursework, rather than on IGETC completion. Strong technical preparation is essential for success in the admissions process and, subsequently, in all coursework at Bourns.
UC San Diego:
IGETC is accepted at John Muir, Earl Warren, Thurgood Marshall and Sixth Colleges only. Students completing IGETC are welcomed at Eleanor Roosevelt and Revelle Colleges; however, they must also fulfill the specific general education requirements of those colleges. At UCSD, all majors are available to students in each college, so students who choose IGETC will not be restricted in their choice of major.
UC Santa Barbara:
Transfer students in the College of Letters and Science and the College of Creative Studies may use IGETC to substitute for general education requirements. Students transferring into the College of Engineering are encouraged to focus on the preparation for their major rather than general education courses, but may also use IGETC to substitute for most general education requirements.
As part of their general education, all students in the College of Engineering are required to complete a depth requirement. Students who wish to satisfy the depth requirement prior to transfer must complete a yearlong sequence in the history of world civilization, history of Western civilization, history of the United States, history of Western philosophy or history of Western art. Students may want to choose courses for IGETC that will concurrently satisfy the depth requirement. Students may also complete the depth requirement with upper-division coursework after transferring.
Please note: Students planning to transfer into a major in engineering, computer science or biological or physical sciences must be careful to complete lower-division major prerequisites to ensure competitiveness and make normal, timely progress through their major.
UC Santa Cruz:
Students are always encouraged to complete the lower-division preparatory courses for their intended major, and if it makes sense, complete IGETC. Transfer students intending to pursue any major in the physical and biological sciences or the Jack Baskin School of Engineering should not follow IGETC because it will not provide them with enough lower-division preparation for their majors.
