Core Curriculum & Transfer Degrees
Start Here Then Transfer to University
Transfer degrees such as the AA, AS, and AAT are part of our goal to provide quality freshman and sophomore level courses in the arts and sciences that parallel the lower division offerings of four-year colleges and universities. By offering a coherent sequence of courses with appropriate breadth and depth, you’re prepared for transfer to a university. To earn both the AA and the AS degrees, the minimum requirements must be met where 15 college-level semester hours are earned at NCTC.
Transfer Pathways
We strive to provide you with the courses of study that match your educational goals. Hence, the academic pathways provided to shape your educational experience and provide the best combination of classes (both core options and electives) that align with the intended major at a four-year university. These pathways align with the recommended Fields of Study from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and will lead to the completion of the core curriculum at NCTC.
