Special General Education Programs
General Education Clusters
General Education cluster classes, available to entering
freshmen only, are one option for satisfying several GE
requirements. The clusters span three quarters and are
interdisciplinary team-taught courses designed to introduce students to multiple areas of knowledge. They focus
on a common topic and are organized in such a way that
students can explore how different disciplines converge
and diverge in their approach to a particular problem.
Students who complete the entire sequence
of three courses (15 units total) receive GE
credit for four courses under the current
GE program. Specific GE credit varies by
cluster content. Inquire at the General Education Office, A265 Murphy Hall, or see
http://www.college.ucla.edu/ge.

component and the complementary course requirement.
Students who complete only
8A receive GE credit for one
physical sciences course, but
do not receive credit for the
laboratory and/or demonstration component nor the
complementary course
requirement.
