Students do not have to complete IGETC in order to be admitted to UCSB. The Intersegmental General Education Transfer
Curriculum (IGETC) is a series of courses that prospective transfer students attending California community colleges may
complete to satisfy the lower-division breadth/general education requirements at both the University of California and
the California State University.
Transfers into the College of Letters and Science and College of Creative Studies may use IGETC to substitute for general
education requirements.
Transfers into the College of Engineering may also use IGETC to substitute for general education requirements. In addition
to 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 year-long sequence in the history of world civilization,
history of western civilization, history of western philosophy, or history of western art. Students may want to choose courses
for IGETC that will concurrently satisfy the depth requirement. After transfer, students may also complete the depth requirement
with upper division course work.
Please note: Students planning to transfer into a major in engineering, computer science, or the biological or physical sciences
must be careful to complete lower division major prerequisites if they are to ensure competitiveness for admission and make normal,
timely progress through the major.
If IGETC is not completed prior to transfer, or if you have not attempted IGETC, you must complete UCSB's General Education (GE)
program to graduate from UCSB. It is not necessary to complete UCSB's GE prior to admission. Alternate ways to fulfill UCSB GE
requirements are explained in the UCSB General Catalog
