IGETCThe IGETC or Intersegmental General
Education Transfer Curriculum is used for both UCs and CSUs. Not all majors and
UCs accept IGETC, however. For example. Roosevelt and Revelle Colleges of UC San
Diego do not accept the IGETC. Ask a counselor or advisor which GE pattern is
right for you depending on where you want to transfer. You can also get more
information on the IGETC through De Anza's Web site.
The IGETC is similar to the CSU
with some major differences:
- While it is not necessary to
finish the CSU GE pattern before transfer, the IGETC GE pattern must be
completed before transfer in most cases. If the IGETC is not completed, then GE
certification is not possible. This means the student will now be following the
transfer school's GE pattern, which is usually not a problem.
- All classes on the IGETC must be
completed with a grade 'C' or higher.
- There is no ICS requirement for
the IGETC as there is for the A.A. and CSU GE pattern. Remember that to earn an
Associate degree, there is an ICS requirement, however.

Area 1: English
Communication
- Group A: English Composition. ESL
is not an option here; only EWRT 1A.
- Group B: Critical Thinking.
Students can take either EWRT 2 or SPCH 9 or PHIL 3.
- Group C: Oral Communication. There
is a speech requirement only for students transferring to a CSU. Students
transferring to a UC do not need to take SPCH 1 or 10.
- Language Other Than English (For
UC only): Students must either have taken two years of the same foreign language
in high school or completed two quarters at De Anza. Students who met this
requirement in high school must have their high school transcripts sent to De
Anza. Students for whom English is a second language and who studied at an
institution where the language of instruction was not English can have their
IGETC certified providing the student submits documentation of attendance at
that school. A counselor or advisor can provide further clarification for
students with questions.
Area 2: Math
- Students must complete one course
with MATH 114 as a prerequisite. Remember only courses numbered between 1 - 49
are UC transferable, so MATH 51 will not count for the IGETC although it works
for the CSU GE pattern.
- Students who are
eligible for Math 49B and do not take Math 49A will not receive any
credit for Math 49B. In other words, students must take both Math 49A
and B (10 units total) to earn unit credit.
Area 3: Arts &
Humanities
- Students must take three courses
from this area with at least one course in the Arts and one course in the
Humanities. The third class can be from either the Arts or Humanities.
Area 4: Social & Behavioral
Sciences
- Students planning on transferring
to a UC may complete any three courses from at least two disciplines (4A - 4J).
Students using IGETC for transfer to a CSU must take five courses including POLI
1 and either HIST 17A or B or C.
Area 5: Sciences
- Like the CSU GE pattern, students
must complete one Physical science course and one Biological Science course, one
of which must have a lab (underlined).
