Bachelor's Core Curriculum

Core Curriculum: 0-14 Credits of Transfer

Academic Department

This core sequence is for students who have transfer credit and Credit by Examination totaling 0-14 credit hours based on first semester enrolling at UST.

Dual/transfer courses/test credits determine which core pathway the student should complete, count towards the overall credits necessary to graduate, and may count for specific courses in a major, minor, or pre-professional program. Transferred courses cannot substitute for core requirements established in a student's core pathway. However, incoming transfer students may apply one previously completed math/natural science course and one previously completed social/behavioral sciences course to satisfy core requirements.

Every student is required to complete at least 30 hours of core coursework, which must include one course from each of the following categories: humanities/fine arts, math/natural science, and social/behavioral sciences. Students should consult with an advisor to ensure core requirements are satisfied.

Enrollment begins with courses in section 1, but a student may start courses in section 2 or 3 as long as at least one course in section 1 is enrolled. Specific pre-requisites are listed in the course descriptions.
