AS Approved Course Requirements

º denotes an Alamo Colleges District AS Approved Course Requirement

The Associate of Science (AS) is designed to align closely with the first half of a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree. Students should follow the pre-major AS to BS Transfer Advising Guide for the major and university selected. The Transfer Advising Guides are developed in conjunction with the senior institution to which the student plans to transfer.

To be awarded the AS degree at one of the colleges in the Alamo Colleges District, students must have 9 hours of AS Approved Course Requirements not included in the 42 hours of Core Curriculum. Please check with your advisor for assistance.

Texas Tech University Undergraduate Degree Requirements

Alamo Colleges District developed each Transfer Advising Guide with the understanding to account for Texas Tech University Uniform Undergraduate Degree Requirements as well as Texas Tech University college-specific requirements, if applicable.

The Texas Tech University Uniform Undergraduate Degree Requirements apply to all Texas Tech undergraduates regardless of their major or college. The requirements have six components:

General Requirements
Core Curriculum Requirement
Multicultural Requirement
Foreign Language Requirement
Science Laboratory Requirement
Communication Literacy Requirement

Texas Tech University Uniform Undergraduate Degree Requirement for Foreign Language differs from the College of Arts & Sciences Foreign Language Requirement; please visit the Texas Tech University College of Arts & Sciences webpage to verify if your desired degree (BA or BS) is listed under College of Arts & Sciences AND if you have additional foreign language hours required.

The College of Arts & Sciences requires 1-2 credit hours of Personal Fitness and Wellness. However, students over age 25 are exempt. Any student who has served honorably in the U.S. Armed Forces for a minimum of 90 days may receive credit for 2 semester hours in personal fitness and wellness. Application for this credit must be made in the first semester of attendance at Texas Tech University. Students participating in varsity athletics may enroll in the PFW course that corresponds to their varsity sport. A maximum of 1 credit hour per academic year per sport may be earned in this manner.
