Program Footnotes

¹Eligible courses are listed under General Education Core Requirements . Students should consult with an academic advisor or counselor to choose the appropriate course(s). Sequenced lab courses are required in natural and physical sciences. ENV 121-122 and BIO 106 are not acceptable courses for this program.

²Students may substitute CST 110  for CST 100   . Consult transfer institution to ensure that the substitution is appropriate for intended transfer program.

³Students may select any of the following courses to meet this requirement: HIS 101  , HIS 102  , HIS 111  , HIS 112  , HIS 121  , or HIS 122  .

⁴Eligible courses are listed under General Education Core Requirements. Students should consult with an academic advisor or counselor to choose the appropriate course(s). Students should consult with an academic advisor or counselor to choose the appropriate course(s). Curriculum Options/Recommendations: Course requirements differ from college to college and major to major. Students should consult a transfer counselor or academic advisor to plan a course of study and investigate the requirements of transfer institutions before choosing mathematics courses, laboratory sciences, and electives. Biology/Pharmacy/Forestry/General Science: Students should take MTH 161 - MTH 162  and take a third laboratory science that is appropriate to their curriculum for the approved elective credits. Some colleges and universities require calculus for their biology and pharmacy majors. Students should check college catalogs and transfer guides to determine mathematics and laboratory science requirements. Chemistry/Physics/Mathematics/Geophysical Sciences: Students should take MTH 263 , MTH 264  , MTH 265  and MTH 267   to ensure junior-level status at the transfer institution. Mathematics requirements are quite varied at transfer institutions. Students should examine the catalog requirements of the senior institutions to which they intend to transfer. Preparation for Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Studies: Students should take MTH 161 - MTH 162  and at least one semester of calculus (MTH 263 ). Biology (BIO 101  - BIO 102  ), Chemistry (CHM 111  - CHM 112 ), Organic Chemistry (CHM 241  - CHM 242 ), and Physics (PHY 201  - PHY 202 ) are the introductory level laboratory sciences generally completed at the freshman/sophomore level. Health Science Majors (Dental Hygiene, Nursing, Nuclear Medicine, and Medical Technology): Students should complete MTH 161  and MTH 245   for most baccalaureate health science majors. Students should check college catalogs and transfer guides to determine appropriate mathematics and laboratory science requirements. A waiver/substitution may be needed in order to substitute MTH 245  for MTH 162 . Preparation for Engineering: Students should take SDV 101 (Orientation to Engineering and Technologies), Mathematics (MTH 161  MTH 162  , and MTH 263  ), Chemistry (CHM 111  and CHM 112  ), and Physics (PHY 241  and PHY 242  ). Students having completed prerequisites for ENG 111  and MTH 263  should contact a counselor, faculty advisor, or Engineering Division Office for admission to the Engineering Program. Preparation for Computer Science: Upon completing the prerequisite courses for ENG 111   and MTH 263 , students should contact a counselor, faculty advisor, or the IT and Business Division Office for admission into TCC’s Computer Science specialization.

⁵Students may select any DIT, HLT or PED (activity) course to satisfy this requirement.

⁶Students may select any Social Science elective under General Education Core Requirements , except for a History Course. Eligible courses are listed under General Education Core Requirements. Students should consult with an academic advisor or counselor to choose the appropriate course(s).

⁷Students may select from eligible Humanities courses identified under General Education Core Requirements . To satisfy the Humanities requirement, courses must be selected from two of the three categories: Artistic Expression; Literature and Creative Writing; or Human Culture. Students should consult with an academic advisor or counselor to choose the appropriate course(s).
