Academic Planning

1. STEM majors: Focus on a few core GEs and the rest on major prep.Non-STEM majors: Focus on full GE, major prep, and electives if necessary

Note: Some STEM majors at UC Berkeley’s College of L&S recommends either IGETC or L&S GE Breath

2. Major Prep: www.assist.org (for UCs and CSUs only) – Learn how to use/read assist.org! Explore majors / options on assist.org Look to see what is required for your major Look at required vs. recommended courses for major

3. Private Universities – see counselor

Tip: Take classes in common if looking at multiple universities, or focus on a primary university and build an ed. plan around that and add secondary universities.
