Online Courses Satisfying the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC)
The IGETC is a general education pattern that community college transfer students can use to fulfill lower-division general education requirements in the CSU or many colleges in the UC system without the need to take additional lower-division general education courses after transfer. It is designed for use by California community college students. California community college transfers who have completed transfer units at a CSU, UC, or an independent college should consult with a counselor to determine if they are eligible to use IGETC. The current IGETC list may be found at www.assist.org. Although courses may be listed in more than one area, they may be used to satisfy the requirement in only one area.
The following list contains only online courses that meet the IGETC Requirements (to see all of the IGETC courses and additional information, please click on the following link: IGETC.)
