"IGETC is most helpful to students who want to keep their options open – those who know they want to transfer but have not yet decided upon a particular institution, campus or major. Certain students, however, will not be well served by following IGETC. Students who intend to transfer into majors that require extensive lower-division preparation, such as engineering or the physical and natural sciences, should concentrate on completing the many prerequisites for the major that the college screens for to determine eligibility for admission."
