Save Time and Money With the Core Curriculum
 If you know you eventually want to transfer to a four-year college or university and get a bachelor’s degree, you can save time and money by completing the Core Curriculum at a Dallas County Community College.
What is the Core Curriculum?
The Core is a set of basic courses (totaling 48 credit hours) designed to provide a foundation for your college career. Core courses focus on six “building blocks” that you need to master to succeed in any field: reading, writing, listening, speaking, critical thinking and computer literacy.
How can the Core save me time and money?
- Our classes cover the same material and use the same textbooks – for a lot less. If you are a Dallas County resident, DCCCD tuition for a three-hour course is just $117. Compare that with $767 at UNT, $840 at UTA and $1,200 at UTD! Why not take your basics at DCCCD, where you’ll cover the same material and use the same textbooks universities use – and enjoy the convenience of our seven locations, flexible schedules, small class sizes and teachers who care – all for a lot less?
- The core transfers as a block of credit. Texas law guarantees that if you successfully complete the Core Curriculum at community college, any Texas public college or university will accept it as a block of credit. That means you won’t have to take English 101 again!
