<p>I'm going to take some classes at a comm. college over the summer for credit at UT. I'm having trouble deciding what to take b/c I'm not sure what I've already got credit for. I took govt. 1 and econ last summer, I have credit for a semester of english, credit for all the U.S. history, and I'm not sure about math or another semester of eng b/c AP scores haven't come in. I'm def. going to take the second semester of govt. but I'm not sure what else I should take. This is a link to the page I was looking at about transfer credits, I think it says psych is a general course requirement? I think I've heard of speech and health being general requirements but when I asked some friends about it they said they didn't know...</p>
<p>and I see a lot of anthropology, geography, and sociology requirements? I’m leaning towards anthropology but if anyone has any other suggestions feel free.</p>
<p>Well just found out that the CC I was going to take courses at doesn’t have a ton of the courses I need. Going to take either physical geography or intro. to psychology now. Anyone who wants to see how credits will transfer from a CC to UT should look at this link. I hope these are good choices…</p>
<p>You could CLEP for a semester of sociology or psychology by studying it yourself. The nice think about CLEP is that if you flunk the test, no one will ever know, and you can try taking it again six months later.</p>
<p>It is best to take a course that is stand alone. In other words, don’t take any classes in your major and don’t take any classes that require more than one course. (Unless you will take them all at CC.) Example - If you are not a math, science or engineering major and only need one semester of calculus, then sure you can take it at a CC. However, if you have to take 2 or 3 semesters of calculus and take the first one at a CC, your second course at UT will eat your lunch. Colleges are not equal, even if the course description is the same. cc is NOT UT, the education you receive there will not compare. Use caution in what you take there, you want to help yourself, not cause problems down the road.</p>
<p>QueenofEverything makes a great point. Courses which combine to make a greater whole, such as with calculus or a foreign language should be taken at the same school. Take stand alone courses as she advised.</p>
<p>Speech is not on the core curriculum or is it not a class that is required by all majors? Also, it says that a social science is required but I thought that some majors (science, engineering) do not require it? Also, is it best to take economics at a CC instead of UT?</p>
<p>Speech is not required for all majors. Mine, mathematics, does not require it. It is suggested as a valuable course to take, but that is all. </p>
<p>If you need to take economics later at UT, I would not take a beginning economics course at a CC. If you only need one or two at the beginning level, feel free to take them at CC. The classes at UT are huge for economics. I took microeconomics at CC and it was painless. I started to take macroeconomics at UT but ended up dropping it. Absolutely hated it and the professor (Norman). I’ll take it instead at ACC.</p>
<p>“Students graduating under the 2008-2010 Catalog from the College of Natural Sciences with a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree and all students enrolled in the Cockrell School of Engineering, College of Fine Arts, School of Nursing, College of Pharmacy, and School of Social Work should consult with their advisors, as their core requirements may differ substantially from what is listed below.” Does this mean that this core curriculum does not apply for the College of Natural Sciences? Is there any way to find a core curriculum for the college of natural sciences without speaking to an advisor? Is it available online somewhere?</p>
<p>Then click on degree plan or degree requirements for the ones you are interested. Some of them have a check list link and lists all of the classes you need in a form for you.</p>
<p>Most of them have it listed in paragraph form in the degree requirements section.</p>
