Prospective Education transfer students are urged to become familiar with the College's curricula and rules in the Undergraduate Catalog 2008-2010.

Students who transfer directly from a Texas community college may choose to graduate under UT Austin catalog rules in effect during the time they attended the community college; those declaring the 2008-2010 catalog must complete all degree requirements by the end of the summer session 2016. At least sixty semester credit hours must be completed at UT Austin to earn an undergraduate degree.

Prospective students can monitor their UT degree progress – even before transfer – and check degree applicability of A.C.C. courses by using the “Planner” function of UT's Interactive Degree Audit (IDA) system.

The Office of Admissions evaluates courses from other institutions for comparability with UT Austin coursework, but the Dean's Office in the College of Education approves transfer credit for use in a degree program.

• Questions concerning degree/graduation requirements, degree applicability of transfer credit, and teacher certification should be directed to the Dean's Office, College of Education, SZB 216, UT Austin, Austin TX 78712 (512/471-3223).

• Questions concerning transfer admission and transfer credit evaluation should be directed to the Office of Admissions, MAI 7, UT Austin, Austin TX 78712 (512/475-7387).

• Students pursuing middle grades, secondary, or all-level teacher certification in Texas must earn a bachelor's degree in the subject they intend to teach.

• Core curriculum transfer credit from A.C.C. is guaranteed to apply toward UT core requirements, but degree plans may specify how some core requirements should be fulfilled. Recommendations in this Guide satisfy core requirements with courses normally required by a student's major field of study at UT.

• Courses in which grades lower than C− are earned do not transfer. Grades from transfer credit are excluded from a student's internal UT Austin grade point average computation.

• College Algebra (MATH 1314) counts in Applied Learning & Development majors only, when transferred in combination with MATH 1350.

• Up to three semester hours of physical education activity coursework may be applied as elective credit toward any degree in the College of Education.

• Up to nine semester hours in Air Force or Military Science may be applied as free elective credit toward any degree in the College of Education.

The University requires all students to have completed two years of high school study in a single foreign language. Transfer students who do not meet this requirement are assessed a foreign language deficiency; removal of deficiencies is required for graduation. To remove a deficiency, credit for the second college-level course in a language (numbered 1512) is required. Credit used to remove a deficiency cannot be applied toward other degree requirements. Prospective students should complete coursework needed to satisfy a foreign language deficiency prior to transfer.

1. ENGL 1301;
2. one Substantial Writing Component/Writing Flag course chosen from ENGL 1302 or 2311; and
3. one literature survey course chosen from ENGL 2322, 2323, 2327, 2328, 2332, 2333, or 2342.

GOVT 2305 & 2306.
(Because A.C.C. and UT Austin organize the two-course legislative requirement sequence differently, it is strongly recommended that students take both courses at one institution.)

For Applied Learning & Development:

PSYC 2301.

For Athletic Training:

PSYC 2301 and one course chosen from ANTH 2351, ECON 2301 or 2302, GEOG 1303, or SOCI 1301 or 1306.

For Kinesiology & Health, Sport Management major:

ECON 2301 or 2302, and either PSYC 2301 or SOCI 1301.

For Kinesiology & Health, other majors:

PSYC 2301 and one course chosen from ANTH 2351, ECON 2301 or 2302, GEOG 1303, or SOCI 1301 or 1306.

For Applied Learning & Development:

• Part I – a two-course sequence in one discipline, chosen from
  ASTR 1303+1304, 1403+1404, 1303+1404, or 1403+1304;
  BIOL 1406+1407, 1408+1409, or 2304+2305;
  CHEM 1311+1312;
  GEOL 1403+1404; or
  PHYS 1401+1402, 1405+1407, or 2425+2426.
• Part II – a third course in a second discipline, chosen from those above and from
  ANTH 2301 or 2302;
  BIOL 1309, 1424, or 2306;
  CHEM 1305;
  GEOG 1301; or
  GEOL 1301, 1345 or 1445.
  MATH (excluding 1314 and credit used for the core mathematics requirement) is also applicable, but after credit in any calculus course is earned only courses for which calculus is a prerequisite can be counted.

(Recommendations above substitute for a three-course integrated science sequence offered at UT Austin for EC-6 certification candidates, but additional coursework may be necessary to prepare for certification exams. To avoid taking more courses than needed for degree purposes, students may wish to defer enrollment in natural science coursework until transferring to UT.)

For Athletic Training:

BIOL 1406 (preferred for pre-physical therapy/pre-medical students) or 1408; and CHEM 1311+1312.

For Kinesiology & Health:

BIOL 1406 (preferred for pre-physical therapy/pre-medical students) or 1408; and CHEM 1311+1312. Additionally, for the Exercise Science major: PHYS 1401+1402.

For Applied Learning & Development, EC-6 Bilingual major:

four semesters in Spanish – SPAN 1511, 1512, 2311, & 2312.

For all other degrees and majors:

(Students pursuing Texas teacher certification are strongly encouraged to satisfy the foreign language requirement with Spanish coursework.)
