Certificate of Achievement-Advanced
This Certificate of Achievement-Advanced is designed for students planning to transfer to either the University of California (UC) or the California State University (CSU) systems. It offers
a program of study that meets the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) requirements. Though completion of lower division General Education is not usually required to transfer*, and not recommended for certain majors, most students should make completion of all or most of IGETC a priority, along with completion of their lower-division major coursework. Students are advised to meet with a counselor or academic adviser to discuss transfer requirements, including General Education, lower division major preparation, minimum and competitive GPAs, and the transfer admission process.
To earn this advanced certificate, students must complete a minimum of 51-62 units, depending on the option selected, distributed among five to six areas outlined in the IGETC pattern found at deanza.edu/articulation/ge-requirements, with a C grade or higher in each course (or with a Pass if the course
was taken on a Pass/No Pass basis and the Pass is equal to
a C or higher grade). Courses on this advanced certificate are approved for a specific academic year, so requirements listed
in catalogs for other years do not apply. Courses completed for this advanced certificate must be on the approved list during the year in which they were taken.
Important: The Certificate of Achievement-Advanced differs from the IGETC "certification form" required by most UC and CSU campuses to verify completion of lower division General Education work. Not all criteria required for the advanced certificate applies to this IGETC "certification."
Upon enrolling in final course requirements and receiving conditional admission to the university, students must submit a request for certification to the De Anza College Admissions and Records Office. IGETC certification request forms are available at the Admissions and Records Office and online at deanza.edu/ counseling/forms.
*A college or specific program may specify full IGETC certification is required for admission under certain conditions. Students should meet with a De Anza counselor or academic adviser to determine if IGETC is the best option to meet their specific transfer goals.
(For UC Option) Demonstrate proficiency in a language other than English and knowledge of the associated history and culture, at the level achieved through two years of high school study.
Program Learning Outcomes: Upon completion, students will be able to
• Communicate effectively both verbally and in writing
• Critically analyze and problem-solve using applicable
techniques, incorporating the appropriate use of logic, mathematical and quantitative reasoning concepts, scientific theories, data, and the scientific method, while considering value systems and ethics associated with human inquiry
• Critically examine the interrelationship between the self and the creative arts and of the humanities in a variety of cultural and historical perspectives, through the study of the arts, history, literature, philosophy and foreign languages
• Critically analyze issues in their contemporary and historical settings and in a variety of cultural contexts, while exploring the principles, methodologies, value systems and ethics employed in social scientific inquiry
