    Foundation GE at MiraCosta College

    Complete these five courses at MiraCosta College to start your UC Berkeley GE pattern. Finishing full IGETC/Cal-GETC at the CC is ideal — these five give you the broadest head start, and CCN-tagged courses stay portable if you switch community colleges.

    3 semesters minimum for MATH C2210 onward

    MATH C2210, then MATH C2220, then MATH 270: each needs the one before, so 3 semesters minimum. Start MATH C2210 in your first semester. Placing higher shortens it.

    Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path

    MiraCosta covers all 3 listed courses

    Every UC Berkeley Computer Science prep course in the transfer agreement has a MiraCosta match, so none of the listed prep has to wait. Take them all before you apply.

    Start with MATH C2210 and MATH 150

    MATH C2210 and MATH 150 sit at the start of their sequences for this route, so they fit your first semester, next to ENGL C1000 for English composition.

    More than one way to cover MATH 51

    For UC Berkeley MATH 51, MiraCosta accepts MATH 150 or MATH 150H. You need only one of them, so pick whichever fits your schedule.
