Notes:
Students who transfer to A&M-Corpus Christi after having completed the 42 SCH core curriculum at another institution will be considered to have completed A&M-Corpus Christi’s core curriculum. See the Catalog for more detailed information.

Students who transfer to A&M-Corpus Christi with an incomplete core curriculum from the sending institution will have their core credits analyzed on an individual basis. Courses taken to fulfill the Del Mar College core curriculum may be substituted for A&M-Corpus Christi core courses in the same competency area.

In some cases, transfer courses may substitute for upper-division courses to fulfill degree requirements. However, such courses do not count toward the total number of upper-division credit hours required for a bachelor’s degree from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.


Additional University Requirement
Foreign Language

The foreign language requirement can be fulfilled by passing the University’s placement exam or by transfer of two years of a single foreign language or American Sign Language in high school or one year in college.** Students taking American Sign Language at Del Mar College may transfer the following courses to fulfill the foreign language requirement:
    SLNG 1404 American Sign Language (ASL): Beginning I
    SLNG 1405 American Sign Language (ASL): Beginning II
   
Computer literacy This requirement can be fulfilled by transfer of ITSC 1301 or both COSC 1301 and ITSC 1309 at Del Mar College or by passing the University’s placement exam or COSC 1315. (For specific information on the Degree requirements of a particular college or degree program, contact the dean of the college.)


**Exception: Students majoring in degree programs offered by the College of Arts and Humanities, other than BFA in Art and BM in Music, are required to take 6 college-level hours of a second language, unless they pass an oral proficiency interview. (American Sign Language is accepted as a second language; SLNG 1404 and SLNG 1405 will be transferred for 8 hours of credit toward this requirement.) For more information about the college language requirement, see the Catalog.
