For Teacher Prep at either CSU or UC, it is recommended that students complete
either History 17A/17AH or PS 1/1H. The CSU system has a graduation requirement in
U.S. History & U.S. Political Science--It is recommended that students complete these
courses in addition to the above Area 4 courses prior to transfer. Choose one History
course and one Political Science course marked with an asterisk * to meet this
requirement before transfer. Cabrillo College will double count these courses in Area
4 for purposes of Certification. For CSU, PS courses must include a section on
California government. Out of state students who have taken a US Political Science
course may take a one-unit supplement on California government at the transfer
CSU. For UC, a student may complete this requirement in High School. Please check
with a counselor.

courses from a combination of Areas A, B4, C & D on the CSU GE list. The complete list of approved courses for this area of
emphasis is listed in the current Cabrillo catalog under Liberal Arts & Sciences.

Mathematics or Physics: 30-39 units are required using the catalog model program or the transfer requirements on ASSIST
as a guide.
Courses may be used to satisfy both the major/emphasis and general education requirements, but will be counted only once for the total degree units.
*For students beginning F’10, all courses in the major or emphasis must be completed with a “C” or better.
Completion of 27 units of G.E. also qualifies you to receive a Certificate of Completion in IGETC General Education
which will be automatically issued upon petitioning for graduation and/or through the official G.E. Transcript

Important Information
Use of units from other community colleges must be checked on ASSIST www.assist.org.
A Cabrillo College counselor must check use of units from out of state or 4-year universities.
Partial certification is now allowed for University of California. Students are urged to check with UC transfer
campus as some campuses (Berkeley in particular) have said that they will not allow partial IGETC.
Full Certification is required for the AA-T and AS-T degrees.
To file a petition for this degree—make an appointment with a counselor
during the semester in which you are completing all of the requirements.
