This curriculum is designed for those who want to study pre-law, journalism, interdisciplinary studies, English, sociology, economics, and other similar disciplines at a four-year school. It gives the student the flexibility to pursue a major interest and, at the same time, to fulfill the lower-division general education requirements for transfer to a baccalaureate degree program. Students should seek guidance from advisors and the institution to which they intend to transfer to determine appropriate coursework for specific transfer programs.
GENERAL EDUCATION CORE
Students enrolled in transfer programs must take a minimum of 30 credits in General Education. Each student’s total of general education and required courses must equal at least 60 semester hours of credit.

1 One Humanities Core Course (3 credits), plus one Arts Core Course (3 credits), plus one Literature Core Course (3 credits) satisfies the Humanities, Arts and Literature Core requirement, OR a World Language Sequence (8 credits), plus another Humanities, Arts, and Literature Core (3 credits) in a second discipline other than a world language satisfies the Humanities, Arts and Literature Core requirement.
2 One History Core Course is required and may be taken as either a Social and Behavioral Science Core or a Humanities Core. No more than 6 credits may be taken in History to meet Humanities Core and Social and Behavioral Science Core requirements.
3 World Language Sequence requirements vary by institution. At HCC, the World Language Sequence means two sequential foreign language courses in the same language (e.g. SPAN-101 and SPAN-102, or FREN-102 and FREN-201), excluding courses taught in English.
Students can complete the entire Associate of Arts Degree in Liberal Arts online or through a combination of online courses and telecourses (see page 36).
