About IGETC
- The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) is a series of courses offered in the California community colleges that transfer students may complete as a way to satisfy the lower-division breadth/general education requirements at the UC or the California State University. The IGETC program is administered through the California community college system. Completion of the IGETC must be certified by a community college counselor and submitted to UCR with the student’s final transcript before the first term of enrollment.
- Lower division major preparation should be prioritized ahead of completion of IGETC or College breadth requirements. The Bourns College of Engineering (BCOE) accepts completion of IGETC as satisfying the majority of the college's breadth requirements for transfer students. Some additional breadth coursework may be required after enrollment at Bourns. For more information on BCOE breadth requirements, go to http://student.engr.ucr.edu/policies/requirements/breadth.html
- Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to focus on preparatory course work for the major, such as the mathematics, science and other technical preparatory course work, rather than IGETC. Strong technical preparation is essential for success in the admissions process, and subsequently, in all coursework at BCOE.
