Notes/Comments

Texas A&M University - Central Texas (TAMUCT) only offers upper-level courses (3xxx-5xxx labeled courses), all lower-level courses (1xxx-2xxx labeled courses) will need to be completed at Central Texas College (CTC). A minimum of 120 semester credit hours is required for all baccalaureate degrees. Pathways may exceed 120 semester credit hours as some courses necessary for the associate degree are transferable but not applicable to the baccalaureate degree. For help with pathway planning, students should speak with an academic advisor.

  1. The AAS does not fulfill all the lower-level courses required for the undergraduate degree. Students will need to complete these remaining lower-level courses at CTC. Please discuss the consortium agreement procedure with a TAMUCT financial aid advisor.
  2. For the Occupational/Technical Specialization credits, students must have a minimum of 12 semester credit hours consisting of technical, occupational, and military training and many include academic electives to complete the maximum allowable 36 semester credit hours.
  3. Students may fulfill this degree requirement by enrolling in CIS 3330, CIS 3331 or CIS 3332 at TAMUCT.
  4. Students may fulfill this degree requirement by enrolling in BUSI 3311 at TAMUCT.
