The courses listed in the Transfer Credit Framework represent the type
of coursework that is generally completed during the first and second
year of a four-year degree program. Completing courses in these
categories is a good choice for students who are undecided about the
major they wish to pursue or the institution where they plan to
transfer.
The Transfer Credit Framework allows students to transfer up to 30
credits of foundation courses to any of the
participating
colleges and universities and have those courses count toward
graduation. The Framework includes courses in English, public speaking,
math, science, art, humanities, history and the behavioral and social
sciences.
The Transfer Credit Framework is not intended to represent the full set
of general education courses required for a degree but is an excellent
advising tool for students who begin classes without a clear sense of
their future educational plans. The
participating
colleges and universities offer a variety of courses –
general and major-specific – that are transferable but not listed in
the framework.
Certain majors have
specific requirements prescribed by external agencies. It is the
student’s responsibility to work with an advisor to select appropriate
courses as they relate to the major.
The Transfer Credit Framework affects students matriculated Fall 2008
and beyond.
To fully benefit from the Transfer
Credit Framework, students are advised to select a range of courses
from all six categories. Framework courses are worth 3 or 4 credits
each. Students may complete one course from Category 1 and one from
Category 2. Students should complete no more than two courses from each
of the remaining categories.
With the assistance of an academic advisor or transfer counselor,
additional courses from the categories may be taken. However, certain
majors have specific requirements prescribed by external agencies.
Students should work closely with an advisor before selecting
additional courses.
