I spent most of the day trying to go over my plan for the coming school year of ’03-’04, and in reworking my academic plan, I noticed that two things are going to happen next spring. 1) If all goes well, I will have my AA in Japanese next spring. 2) I won’t be able to apply for my Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC), which would allow me to apply for a transfer to San Francisco State, until Spring Semester 2005. Because while I’ll have enough credits to graduate as an associate of arts, I’ll still be about twenty units shy from having completed my general education according to the California State University system. Interestingly enough, if I were to go to a UC school, I’d be fine. Weird. So, in a nutshell, here’s the breakdown:
Completed Courses: Japanese 1 5.0 units Japanese 2 5.0 units Japanese 36X 2.0 units Japanese 36Z 4.0 units Music Performance 30 2.0 units Political Science 1 5.0 units Counseling 50 1.0 units -------------------------------- 25.0 units
This quarter, my schedule looks like this:
Japanese 3 5.0 units Math 101 5.0 units History 17A 5.0 units Philosophy 25 4.0 units -------------------------------- 19.0 units
In order for me to attain my AA by the end of the spring quarter, I’d have to follow this plan:
Summer 2003 English 1A 5.0 units Comp. Info. Systems 2 4.0 units -------------------------------- 9.0 units Fall 2003 Japanese 4 5.0 units Japanese 13A 3.0 units Math 105 5.0 units Music 3A 5.0 units Human Performance 24 1.0 units -------------------------------- 19.0 units Winter 2004 Japanese 5 5.0 units Japanese 13B 3.0 units Math 10 5.0 units Biology 10 5.0 units -------------------------------- 18.0 units Spring 2004 Japanese 6 5.0 units Japanese 25A 3.0 units Speech 10 4.5 units Social Sciences 20 4.0 units -------------------------------- 16.5 units Grand Total 107.5 units
I would then graduate from Foothill, technically. But then I would go back in the Fall quarter of 2004 to finish up the CSU transfer requirements as such:
Fall 2004 Japanese 25B 3.0 units English 1B 5.0 units Astronomy 10A 5.0 units -------------------------------- 13.0 units
And then I could petition for my IGETC, apply to SFSU, get accepted there and then go on to finish my BA. But right now, I’m just thinking about what I need to go at Foothill first. Whew… all this work for an AA.
