CAP Curriculum
University of Texas at San Antonio – Fall 2009/Spring 2010

To be eligible for fall 2010 enrollment in the UT Austin School of Undergraduate Studies, Coordinated Admission Program students at UT San Antonio must complete 30 transferable semester hours of coursework (including a mathematics course other than College Algebra) with at least a 3.2 grade point average by June 1, 2010.

Approved CAP courses are listed below (with UT Austin transfer credit evaluations). For CAP purposes you can take any listed course, subject to UT San Antonio's placement, prerequisite, or other requirements. Consult an academic advisor before selecting courses, and review the Recommended Courses following the course list.

Approved CAP Course List	(use the CAP Crosswalk to compare course selection at the 7 participating UT System campuses)

English Composition (core 010)

Two courses for all UT Austin degrees:

WRC 1013 (= RHE 306)
WRC 1023 (= RHE 309K)

Mathematics (core 020)

MAT 1043 (= M 302)
MAT 1093 (= M 305G)
MAT 1214 or 1194 (= M 408K)
MAT 1223 (= M 308L)
MAT 2213 (= M 308M)
STA 1053 (= M 316)

While it does not satisfy UT Austin requirements, MAT 1073 counts in the required 30 CAP semester hours (but is excluded from the CAP GPA) because UT San Antonio may require it as a prerequisite for other math courses. If required, students should take 1073 in the fall semester or they may not complete the CAP math requirement within the available two-semester timeframe.
