Transfer Tip -- Complete the core
If your goal is to receive a bachelor’s degree from a public university, Texas law requires you to complete a core curriculum ranging from 42 to 48 semester credit hours. Each college or university identifies which of its courses fit into the core curriculum. If you complete the core curriculum with grades of C or better and transfer, the entire core curriculum transfers and substitutes for the core curriculum you would have taken at your new institution.
You may have to take additional course work if your transfer school has a larger core curriculum than Collin College’s. If you complete only part of the core curriculum before you transfer, each course completed should apply to the transfer university’s core curriculum.
Caution: in some bachelor’s degree programs, students take requirements for the major as part of the core curriculum. If you have selected your major, it's best to follow a degree plan/2+2 guide so you do not have to take extra course work to satisfy freshman and sophomore requirements.
