Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC)
IGETC is a pattern of Foothill College courses that fulfills lower-division general education requirements for transfer to California State University (CSU) and University of California (UC). IGETC is an alternative to the CSU and local General Education Breadth Requirements. Many private universities also recognize IGETC for fulfillment of general education requirements. IGETC is a good option for the student who intends to transfer but is undecided about a major and/or transfer institution. Some majors require extensive lower-division preparation, therefore, IGETC may not be the best choice for general education. Some universities do not accept IGETC. Always consult a counselor when developing an educational plan.
Course requirements for all areas of IGETC must be completed with a grade of C or better and certified by Foothill College for university credit. Submit a request for IGETC certification at the Counseling Center or Admissions Office. For updated course information, consult your counselor or visit assist.org.
Completion of IGETC requirements also qualifies students for a Foothill College Certificate of Achievement in Transfer Studies.
Summer Session 2025 is the final term during which IGETC may be used, as the new Cal-GETC pattern begins in Fall Quarter 2025. Students who enroll in Summer Session 2025 or earlier and maintain catalog rights through continuous enrollment may still use the IGETC pattern. Students are strongly recommended to meet with a counselor to discuss the best general education pattern for their goals.
