Notes/Comments

Texas A&M University - Central Texas only offers upper-level courses (3xxx-5xxx labeled courses), all lower-level courses (1xxx-2xxx labeled courses) will need to be completed at Austin Community College. For help with pathway planning, students should speak with an academic advisor. This pathway is intended for planning and visualization purposes only.

  1. The AA does not fulfill all the lower-level courses required for the undergraduate degree. Students will need to complete these remaining lower-level courses at Austin Community College. Please discuss the consortium agreement procedure with a TAMUCT financial aid advisor.
  2. Any-level electives may be taken at either at Texas A&M University-Central Texas or at Austin Community College. Please consult with an academic advisor prior to selecting any-level electives.
