Notes/Comments

TAMUCT offers upper-level courses (those labeled 3XXX-5XXX), while all lower-level courses (those labeled 1XXX-2XXX) should 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 certain courses required 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. For the Occupational Specialization credits, students must have a minimum of 12 semester credit hours consisting of technical, vocational, and military training and may include academic electives to complete the maximum allowable 33 semester credit hours.
  2. The AAS does not fulfill all the lower-level courses required for the undergraduate degree. Students will need to complete the remaining lower-level courses at ACC. Please discuss the consortium agreement procedure with a TAMUCT financial aid advisor.
  3. Course to be taken in the first semester.
  4. Course to be taken in the last semester.
