What is GE/IGETC Certification?
There are two General Education-Breadth patterns that California Community College students can complete. (1) CSU General Education-Breadth Program This program is a lower-division, 39-semester-unit pattern. Students must take specified courses in five specific areas. Students with full certification are required to complete a minimum of 9 semester units of upper- division general education in residence after transferring to CSUF. Students may be instructed to take those 9 units in specific areas in order to complete GE categories. (2) Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) All lower-division Cal State Fullerton G.E. requirements may be satisfied by the completion in its entirety of this transfer curriculum at a California community college. Information about IGETC is available at each campus.
