INTERSEGMENTAL GENERAL EDUCATION TRANSFER CURRICULUM (IGETC)DEGREES, CERTIFICATES AND AWARDSCertificate of Achievement
DESCRIPTIONCompletion of ALL of the requirements in the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) will permit astudent to transfer from a community college to a campus in either the California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) system without the need, after transfer, to take additional lower-division general education courses to satisfy campus general education requirements.
IGETC is separated into six separate academic areas. Each area requires a specific unit/course requirement(s). A grade of "C" or higher is required for each course used to satisfy IGETC requirements. It is recommended IGETC be completed in its entirety prior to transfer. Students who do not complete the entire program before transfer could be subject to the general education requirements of the campus or college to which they transfer.
Gainful Employment: Federal regulations require institutions to provide studentswith Gainful Employment information for specific certificate programs offered at IVC.Please click on our Programs of Study link to view the information for each certificateprogram: http://www.imperial.edu/courses-and-programs/programs-of-study/
Imperial Valley College Catalog 2018-2019 www.imperial.edu 173
CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM
The Certificate of Achievement program is designed for students with personal or occupationalgoals who wish early employment. To qualify for the Certificate, a student must satisfy the followingrequirements: (1) complete all courses listed for a particular certificate.; (2) achieve a “C” average (2.0GPA) for all courses used to complete the certificate; and, (3) file a Certificate Application form with Admissions and Records by the appropriate deadline(s) identified on the application.
TRANSFER PREPARATIONCourses that fulfill major requirements for an associate degree at Imperial Valley College maynot be the same as those required for completingthe major at a transfer institution offering a bachelor’s degree. Students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university should schedule an appointment with an IVCCounselor to develop a student education plan(SEP) before beginning their program.

FINANCIAL AIDPaying for the cost of a college education requires a partnership among parents, students and the college. As the cost ofhigher education continues to rise we wantyou to know that IVC offers a full array of financial aid programs – grants, work study,scholarships, and fee waivers (we do not participate in the federal loan programs).These programs are available to both full and part time students who are seeking a degree or certificate. For those who qualify, financial aid is available to help with tuition,fees, books and supplies, food, housing, transportation, and childcare.

Imperial Valley College Catalog 2018-2019 www.imperial.edu 187
ASSOCIATE DEGREE AND CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAMSThe Associate in Arts (AA) or the Associate in Science (AS) Degree involves satisfactory completionof a minimum of 60 semester units with a C average or higher, including grades of C in all courses required for the major, and fulfillment of all IVC district requirements for the associate’s degree alongwith all general education requirements. The degree provides a sound basis for transfer to upper division institutions for additional degrees or for higher vocational preparation. To be eligible to receive an Associate Degree the student must complete the requirements for the major, the Districtrequirements for an Associate Degree, and the General Education requirements. In addition studentsmust maintain a minimum grade point average and meet the minimum grade requirements of theirprogram. Detailed information is available in the college catalog.
The Certificate of Achievement program is designed for students with personal or occupationalgoals who wish early employment. To qualify for the Certificate, a student must satisfy the followingrequirements: (1) complete all courses listed for a particular certificate.; (2) achieve a “C” average (2.0GPA) for all courses used to complete the certificate; and, (3) file a Certificate Application form with Admissions and Records by the appropriate deadline(s) identified on the application.
TRANSFER PREPARATIONCourses that fulfill major requirements for an associate degree at Imperial Valley College maynot be the same as those required for completingthe major at a transfer institution offering a bachelor’s degree.

PHYSICAL SCIENCEDEGREES, CERTIFICATES AND AWARDSAssociate in Science Degree (A.S.)
DESCRIPTIONPhysical Science is a branch of science, identified as a natural science, which encompasses the study non-living systems, in contrast to the life sciences. Physical sciences are those fields of study that analyze the natural state and properties of energy paired with any non-living matter.Physics, chemistry, geology (earth science), and astronomy are physical sciences.
Physics is the "fundamental science" because the other natural sciences (biology, chemistry, geology, etc.) deal with systems that obey the laws of physics. The physical laws of matter, energy, and the forces of nature govern the interactions between particles (such as molecules, atoms, or subatomic particles).
Astronomy is a natural science that deals with the study of celestial objects (such as stars, planets, comets, nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies) and phenomena that originate outside the atmosphere of Earth. It is concerned with the evolution, physics, chemistry, meteorology, andmotion of celestial objects, as well as the formation and development of the universe. Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences.
Chemistry, built upon physical concepts, addresses phenomena associated with the structure, and composition of matter and the changes it undergoes. Often known as the central science, chemistry connects the fundamental laws of physics to engineering and other natural sciences such as biology, earth science, astronomy and material science.
Earth Science is the science of the planet Earth, the only known life-bearing planet. Its studies include some of the following: Oceanography, Geology, Weather, Soil Science, Physical Geography, etc.

UNIVERSITY STUDIESDEGREES, CERTIFICATES AND AWARDSAssociate in Arts Degree (A.A.)
DESCRIPTIONThe Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree in University Studies is a degree program designed for students who would like to earn an associate’s degree while preparing to transfer to an accredited four-year university. Students planning to transfer are cautioned that this curriculum may not provide for completion of the lower division requirements for transfer to a four-year institution. See a counselor for specific transfer requirements.
Gainful Employment: Federal regulations require institutions to provide studentswith Gainful Employment information for specific certificate programs offered at IVC.Please click on our Programs of Study link to view the information for each certificateprogram: http://www.imperial.edu/courses-and-programs/programs-of-study/
Imperial Valley College Catalog 2018-2019 www.imperial.edu 211
ASSOCIATE DEGREE PROGRAMThe Associate in Arts (AA) or the Associate in Science (AS) Degree involves satisfactory completionof a minimum of 60 semester units with a C average or higher, including grades of C in all courses required for the major, and fulfillment of all IVC district requirements for the associate’s degree alongwith all general education requirements. The degree provides a sound basis for transfer to upper division institutions for additional degrees or for higher vocational preparation. To be eligible to receive an Associate Degree the student must complete the requirements for the major, the Districtrequirements for an Associate Degree, and the General Education requirements. In addition studentsmust maintain a minimum grade point average and meet the minimum grade requirements of theirprogram. Detailed information is available in the college catalog.
TRANSFER PREPARATIONCourses that fulfill major requirements for an associate degree at Imperial Valley College maynot be the same as those required for completingthe major at a transfer institution offering a bachelor’s degree. Students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university should schedule an appointment with an IVCCounselor to develop a student education plan(SEP) before beginning their program.

FINANCIAL AIDPaying for the cost of a college education requires a partnership among parents, students and the college. As the cost ofhigher education continues to rise we wantyou to know that IVC offers a full array of financial aid programs – grants, work study,scholarships, and fee waivers (we do not participate in the federal loan programs).These programs are available to both full and part time students who are seeking a degree or certificate. For those who qualify, financial aid is available to help with tuition,fees, books and supplies, food, housing, transportation, and childcare.
