General Education-Breadth Agreements:
CSUGE vs. IGETC General education-breadth agreements identify courses qualified at a sending institution for satisfaction of the general education-breadth requirements at a receiving institution. Courses qualified for the general education-breadth agreements are a subset of the basic "pool" of transferable courses accepted for baccalaureate credit. Community college AOs, in consultation with discipline faculty, the local academic senate, chief instructional officer, and campus curriculum committee chair (and in accordance with local curriculum guidelines), submit courses proposed for inclusion on these agreements annually. Representatives from the University of California Office of the President (UCOP), the CSU Chancellor’s Office, and postsecondary faculty review these courses and typically report the results to community college AOs in late spring. The approved lists for each community college are identified on ASSIST by selecting either “CSU General Education/Breadth” or “IGETC for UC and CSU”. Note that CSU grants students credit for courses certified either for the CSU General Education Breadth and Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) course lists; UC, however, grants credit for courses approved for either the IGETC or for those courses approved for campus-specific general education requirements. Some independent institutions grant transfer students full or partial general education credit for either completing the IGETC or CSU GE/Breadth requirements, while others maintain campus-specific requirements, commonly called general education or core curriculum requirements.
Campus Specific GE Agreements - De Anza also has agreements with universities that are based on their "campus-specific" requirements. Students may elect to complete campus-specific GE requirements when a system-wide pattern (CSUGE/IGETC) is not accepted or, in the case of IGETC, not completed prior to transfer. Campus-specific agreements for UCs are posted on ASSIST; agreements for independent/out-of-state colleges and universities are posted to De Anza's Transfer Planning Page.
