An integral
component of all TCU degrees is the liberal arts
and sciences core, that group of general degree
requirements expected of every student. TCU's
core consists of classes distributed among major
areas. Within these areas you have a wide choice
of courses; thus, you may fulfill most Core
requirements with courses transferred. It is
required that you complete the core before you
graduate, not before you transfer. All courses
are individually assessed for application to the
TCU Core Curriculum. See your college counselor,
TCU Admissions, or TCU academic departments for
transfer questions.
The following equivalent courses are from the
2005-2006 Texas Common Course number equivalency
guide.
Although most
academic course work taken will transfer, these
particular classes will fulfill TCU Core
requirements and requirements for the Nursing
clinicals.
Course equivalency is subject to change..
