什麼是 IGETC?What is IGETC?
Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum — 社區大學學生轉學前的通識課程架構Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum — the general education framework for CCC transfer students
一句話理解 IGETC:IGETC in one sentence: 在社區大學完成 IGETC,轉學後就不需要再修 UC 的通識課程(GE),可以直接專注於主修課程。 Complete IGETC at CCC, and you can skip UC's General Education requirements after transfer — jumping straight into major courses.
🎯
IGETC 的作用Purpose of IGETC
替代 UC 的通識課程(GE)要求。完成後轉學,可以提早修主修課、提早畢業。Satisfies UC's General Education requirements. Complete it before transfer and you can take major courses earlier — potentially graduating sooner.
📋
IGETC 的結構IGETC Structure
共 7 大科目領域,需完成特定學分數。大多數社區大學的課程都可以對應至某個 IGETC 領域。7 subject areas with specific unit requirements. Most CCC courses map to at least one IGETC area.
🔗
IGETC 與 TAG 的關係IGETC & TAG Relationship
IGETC 和 TAG 是獨立但互補的兩套系統。TAG 不要求完成 IGETC,但完成 IGETC 對轉學後的學習大有幫助。IGETC and TAG are independent but complementary. TAG doesn't require IGETC completion, but finishing IGETC makes your post-transfer experience much smoother.
⚠️
哪些科系不接受 IGETC?Who Shouldn't Use IGETC?
UC Berkeley 工程學院、部分 UCD 理工科系建議走 Campus-Specific GE 而非 IGETC。轉學前務必確認。UC Berkeley's College of Engineering and some UCD STEM programs prefer campus-specific GE over IGETC. Always verify before transferring.

| 比較項目Factor |

Campus-Specific GECampus-Specific GE |
| 適用範圍Coverage | 適用於多所 UC(通用)Accepted at most UCs | 僅適用於特定 UC 校區Valid at one specific UC |
| 理工科系建議STEM Majors | 部分校區不建議(尤其 UCB 工程)Not recommended for some (esp. UCB Engineering) | UCB/UCD 理工科系通常更適合Usually better for UCB/UCD STEM |
| 規劃彈性Flexibility | 高(申請多所 UC 都有效)High — valid across multiple UCs | 低(鎖定單一校區)Low — tied to one campus |
| 適合 TAG 學生?Good for TAG Students? | ✅ 通常是 | ⚠️ 視校區而定 |
建議:Recommendation: 大多數 TAG 學生選擇 IGETC,因為可以同時申請多所 UC。如果你只申請 UC Berkeley 或目標是理工科,請先確認該校的 GE 建議。 Most TAG students choose IGETC for its multi-campus flexibility. If you're targeting UC Berkeley or a STEM major, verify that campus's specific GE recommendation first.
IGETC 7 大科目領域IGETC 7 Subject Areas
每個領域有最低學分要求,完成所有領域才算完成 IGETC。Each area has a minimum unit requirement. All areas must be completed to satisfy IGETC.
總學分需求:Total Units Required: IGETC for UC 共需 34–39 學分(依 UC 校區略有差異),包含 English Composition 和 Critical Thinking 課程。 IGETC for UC requires approximately 34–39 units total (varies by campus), including English Composition and Critical Thinking.

Major Preparation(主修先修課)Major Preparation Courses
在 CCC 就讀期間,提前完成目標 UC 主修科系的先修課程,是 TAG 申請的重要組成部分。Completing pre-major coursework at CCC before transfer is a critical part of TAG and strengthens your entire application.
Major Prep 的重要性:Why Major Prep Matters: TAG 申請時,你需要承諾已完成(或在申請時在修)的 Major Prep 課程。部分 UC 校區會在 TAG 中明確要求特定的先修課,缺少可能導致 TAG 被拒。 In your TAG application, you commit to completing (or currently taking) specific Major Prep courses. Some UCs explicitly require certain courses in the TAG agreement — missing them can void your TAG.

手把手:查詢 Major Prep 對應Step-by-Step: Look Up Major Prep Articulation
1
前往 assist.org,點選「View Agreements」Go to assist.org, click "View Agreements"
選擇學年(Year)→ 你的 Community College → 目標 UC → 點選 MajorSelect Year → your Community College → target UC → click your Major
2
找到 Major Preparation 區塊Find the Major Preparation section
左欄是 UC 要求的課程,右欄是你的 CCC 中對應的課程。「No Course Articulated」表示該校沒有對應課程。Left column = UC requirements. Right column = CCC equivalents. "No Course Articulated" means no match exists at your CCC.
3
閱讀「AND / OR」條件Read "AND / OR" conditions carefully
「AND」= 兩門課都要修;「OR」= 修其中一門即可。很多人在這個地方搞混,務必仔細閱讀。"AND" = both courses required. "OR" = either course satisfies the requirement. Many students confuse these — read carefully.
4
查詢 IGETC 對應Look up IGETC articulation
同樣在 ASSIST,選擇「IGETC」→ 你的 CCC,可以看到哪些課程符合 IGETC 各領域要求。Also in ASSIST, select "IGETC" → your CCC to see which courses satisfy each IGETC area.
5
截圖保存查詢結果Screenshot and save your results
ASSIST 的資料每年更新,建議每學年初重新查詢並保存。ASSIST data updates annually — re-check at the start of each academic year and save screenshots.
常見陷阱:Common Pitfall: 你在 CCC 修了一門「類似」的課,但 ASSIST 顯示「No Course Articulated」,這表示該課程不被認可為 Major Prep 等效課程。需要另外修有對應的課,或聯繫 UC 詢問替代方案。 You took a "similar" course at CCC, but ASSIST shows "No Course Articulated" — this means the course is not recognized as equivalent. You'll need to take an articulated course, or contact the UC to ask about alternatives.
