In-District Tuition at Community Colleges

[clep3705]

If you are going to get an AA or AS at any community college in Texas, you should familiarize yourself with the Texas Academic Core Curriculum. Texas General Education Core Curriculum

To get an associate's or bachelor's degree from any public tax dollar supported college or university in Texas, you must fulfill the Texas Core. Notice that you must take U.S. History. Your world history won't satisfy your history requirement, although it should count as elective credit. When you meet the core requirements at one publicly funded Texas college or university, all other publicly funded colleges and universities in Texas must accept those courses. Non-core courses are another matter.

Remedial algebra and computer literacy are unlikely to be core courses. Remedial algebra might not count toward a bachelor's degree. Some schools consider courses like computer literacy to be a workforce development course. Workforce development courses may not transfer to a public university. Many AAS courses are workforce development courses. A person studying welding in an AAS program might have an intellectually challenging course on the theory of welding, but it probably won't transfer to a university, for example. My point is that some community college courses are considered "academic" courses and others are not. It depends on the course, the school, and maybe even how well the advisor understands the rules. Academic courses such as world history will probably transfer even when they aren't core courses.

Courses from How to write for children and teens - Institute of Children's Literature. are unlikely to transfer to a community college in Texas. If they appeared on a Charter Oak transcript, a community college might accepted them as transfer credits from COSC. Maybe. You need regional accreditation behind the credits for them to be generally acceptable.
