THAR 281 & Dual Use (Fall 2014)

Colleges and Universities A-Z Texas A&M University

<p>Have any current engineering students been told by an advisor that when they look it up in "the system," THAR 281 is not identified as a dual use course (for the current, Fall 2014 semester)? Son just met with his, and when she pulled it up she said it's not showing up as one. ??</p>

<p>Negative. I took THAR 281 in Fall of 2010 and I used it as a VPA and ICD credit. Lawd that was a long time ago. I graduated with my undergrad in May of 2013 in engineering. Unless they changed the classification on it since I took it, it’s good.</p>

<p>It’s called core curriculum <a href=“http://core.tamu.edu”>http://core.tamu.edu</a> It is still on the list for Fall 2014 listed under LPC and scrolling over it says yes for ICD. The list use to be in a more friendly format - but this is the one I found. You can use any catalog - current or the one from the year you start as a freshman. The listing for Pet. Eng does not list THAR 281 as dual credit, but it refers you to the first list (?) so maybe it is an oversight. <a href=“http://engineering.tamu.edu/media/1549639/2014-2015-tamu-catalog-137-petroleum-engineering-curriculum-updated.pdf”>http://engineering.tamu.edu/media/1549639/2014-2015-tamu-catalog-137-petroleum-engineering-curriculum-updated.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>@tshusker‌ , I do know the list has been changing the last few years, we dealt with a similar situation (for us the course was added to the list vs. taken away). This should be school-wide I believe and not engineering specific. Here’s some more info <a href=“https://tap.tamu.edu/main/core.aspx”>https://tap.tamu.edu/main/core.aspx&lt;/a&gt; with the change of names of areas from 2103-2014 to 2014-2015. In the 14-15 catalog <a href=“http://catalog.tamu.edu/pdfs/14-15_UG_Catalog.pdf#page=15”>http://catalog.tamu.edu/pdfs/14-15_UG_Catalog.pdf#page=15&lt;/a&gt; , page 18 it refers you back to the core.tamu list I had above^ as the source for current course lists. Hopefully he’ll get his dual credit - I know mine plan out their schedules & a kink like that can really throw off everything.</p>

<p>Thanks, everyone!</p>

<p>I don’t know if it counts for dual credit or not, but I’d take it even if it didn’t count as a dual credit. Knocks out a breadth requirement for an absolute minimum of studying. It’s a great way to pad an engineering workload.</p>
