Notes/Comments

TAMUCT offers upper-level courses (3xxx-5xxx labeled courses), all lower-level courses (1xxx-2xxx labeled courses) will need to be completed at ACC. 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, please speak with an academic advisor or enrollment specialist. This pathway is intended for planning and visualization purposes and is subject to change.

  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 ACC. Please discuss the consortium agreement procedure with a TAMUCT financial aid advisor.
  2. Any-level electives may be taken at TAMUCT or at ACC. Please consult with an academic advisor prior to selecting any-level electives.
  3. Each Minor listed requires 12 hours Upper-Level electives and 6 hours Lower-level electives (or Any Level Elective) from the same concentration (Minor) area. Refer to the listings of Undergraduate Minors to choose the three different minors and their respective requirements for this degree.
  4. Coursework includes, but is not limited to: BUSI 3301, PSYC 3409, SOWK 3300, BIOL 3380, HIST 3300, ENGL 3330, POLI 3330, and SOSC 3300. Please meet with your academic advisor for course recommendations.
