2019-2020 University Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]
Interdisciplinary General Education
|
|
Offered by: College of Education and Integrative Studies, Interdisciplinary General Education
The Interdisciplinary General Education curriculum provides an integrated, interdisciplinary, discussion-based approach to learning about the humanities, social sciences, and arts. IGE is an alternative pathway to satisfy 21 units of the University GE requirements in areas A, C, and D. Students ready for GE area A2 (categories I and II) are eligible to enroll in IGE 1100 in the Fall. Students ready for GE area A2 with support (categories III and IV) need to enroll in the English stretch courses with support for GE area A2 credit and can enroll in IGE 1100 or IGE 1200 for GE area C2 credit. Students that have fulfilled GE area A2 (category I) can also enroll in IGE 1100 or IGE 1200 for GE area C2 credit. Students should see an advisor for specific GE coursework required by their major. The seven course IGE sequence has the following common Learning Outcomes:
- Effective Communication
- Critical Thinking
- Historical, Social, and Multicultural Understanding
- Understanding and Appreciation of Aesthetic Experiences
- Articulation of Values
- Information Literacy
- Integrative Learning
Students must complete an IGE yearly sequence to earn general education credit. Single IGE classes do not fulfill GE requirements, unless using AP or IB credit or using authorized substitutions. Students who choose to leave IGE and complete the University General Education pattern should do so only at the end of a yearly sequence, e.g. after IGE 1200 or IGE 2200 . Students leaving IGE should seek advisement on how to fulfill remaining general education requirements. There is also some flexibility in the program based on the needs of various majors. See your major advisor or the IGE program office for information. The IGE program is open to any qualified student or undergraduate department wishing to adopt it as an option, and is the recommended pattern for Architecture, Liberal Studies General Studies majors, and works well with many Engineering majors. Students may substitute AP credit for up to 2 courses in the IGE Program. For more information, see departmental advisors or the IGE Department Chair. Please refer to the University Programs section in the course catalog for IGE course descriptions.
3000-level IGE Upper Division Synthesis courses (except for IGE 3100 ) are open to all students, regardless of whether or not they have taken the IGE sequence.

Total required for program: 21 units
How IGE fulfills General Education Requirements:
Individual courses in the IGE program can satisfy either GE subarea with which they are associated and do not need to be taken in sequence (e.g., IGE 2100 can count for either GE Area C1 or C2, and does not require students also take IGE 2200 ). This does not apply to GE Area A2, which still requires the 2-course sequence of IGE 1100 and IGE 1200 passed with a 1.7 average to satisfy the A2 requirement.* | GE Area | Courses | | A2 | IGE 1100 and IGE 1200 | | C1 | IGE 2100 or IGE 2200 | | C2 | IGE 1100, IGE 1200, IGE 2100, or IGE 2200 | | D1 | IGE 2300 or IGE 2400 | | D3 | IGE 2300 or IGE 2400 | | C3 | IGE 3100 | | D4 | IGE 3100 | A single course cannot be double-conted across multiple GE Areas. Remaining GE to be completed. See your major department for advisement:
Areas A1 and A3
