7 Introduction This Degree Guide Manual (DGM) was prepared by the Academic Advisement and Student Success Center of Laredo Community College for several purposes. First, it will assist LCC students in helping to determine what specific freshman-sophomore level courses are required for various degrees at senior institutions to which they may wish to transfer. Second, the DGM will assist the high school counselor in advising college-bound students. Third, the "Manual" will assist LCC faculty and administrators in advising students about various degree requirements. Finally, the DGM will illustrate that the first two years of most college degrees may be satisfactorily completed at Laredo Community College. The "Manual" should not be interpreted as all inclusive. The various curriculum guides in the "Manual" were prepared for the more popular majors and for senior colleges to which most LCC students transfer. Additional curriculum guides will be added to the DGM each year and the present guides will be revised when necessary. The individual guides are generally prepared or updated in March and April of each year and many colleges do not issue new catalogs until sometime later in the year. Consequently, the guides may not indicate changes in requirements implemented from one catalog to the next. It is recommended you contact the transfer colleges for more up-to-date equivalencies and requirements. 7

8 Using the Manual There are several things to keep in mind when using this manual. First, some students believe that degree requirements are the same for all colleges. This is not true! Practically all senior colleges have their own specific degree requirements. For example, the requirements for a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree at Texas A&M International University will differ somewhat from the BBA requirements at the University of Texas at Austin. Freshman requirements, with a few variations, are fairly uniform for most degrees but begin to differ somewhat at the sophomore level. Consequently, it is an advantage to carefully plan courses according to the requirements of the college to which students plan to transfer. Second, many students are not able to begin their college work at the course levels shown in the curriculum guides. For example, math below the calculus level will not apply to most engineering degrees. Many engineering students must start at a lower level of math and work their way up to the first applicable math course. Also, some senior institutions do not count the first semester of regular college English toward the degree. They assume the student will be proficient and receive advanced placement and start with the second semester of freshman English. Again, many students do not have the backgrounds to do that. Another factor to consider is that practically all senior institutions have a minimum college entrance test score required for admission. The minimum standard helps insure that their students have a certain level of academic skills and are thus prepared for standard freshman-level courses. Most two-year colleges do not have minimum scores required for entrance but use scores for placement purposes in various courses. Students who score below the minimum would not start their college work at the levels shown in the "Guides" but would start at a lower level(s) in order to bring their basic academic skills up to the freshman level. 8

9 A fourth factor to consider is that the curriculum-guide courses do not always have to be taken in the sequence demonstrated. Some courses which are shown during the sophomore year may be taken during the first year and visa versa. However, many courses have prerequisites which must be completed first. The "Course Descriptions" section of the LCC catalog lists the prerequisites for each described course. A fifth factor to consider is that institutions change their degree requirements from time to time. You may wish to contact the colleges of your choice about up-to-date requirements. Also, our interpretation of specific degree requirements and courses equivalencies may be different than a senior college's interpretation. Each institution determines their own degree requirements and equivalencies of transferred courses. Finally, you should write to the college to which you plan to transfer and ask for a catalog. You should specify the planned major so that you will receive the correct catalog (some universities have 6-8 different catalogs). Write to: Office of Admissions Name of college City, State Zip Code Study the catalog and become acquainted with their procedure, requirements, etc. 9

10 ASSESSMENT AND PLACEMENT Most senior (four-year) institutions require a minimum college entrance test score for admittance. Usually, the minimum score for admission will vary based on the applicant's rank in his/her graduating high school class. Like most junior and community (two-year) colleges, Laredo Community College has the "open-door" policy. Test scores are required for freshmen but the scores are generally used for course placement purposes rather than for admission to the college. Some LCC programs do require minimum scores for consideration. The Assessment and Placement Program at Laredo Community College is designed to provide effective educational services for students. Assessment identifies students' academic strengths and weaknesses in the basic skills of reading, writing, and mathematics. Placement assigns students to courses for which they have the necessary prerequisites. 10

12 Laredo Community College ASSOCIATE IN ARTS OR SCIENCE The Associate in Arts (AA) or an Associate in Science (AS) degree is a two year general education degree designed to satisfy the attainment of a broad, balanced two (2) year college education. LCC does not grant an AA or AS degree in specific disciplines. To earn the AA or AS degree students must complete a minimum of 60 semester hours of which 44 semester credit hours are derived from our core curriculum. Students planning to obtain a baccalaureate degree should take courses appropriate to their specific degree requirements. Differences between an AA and a AS For the AA degree, a limit of 8 hours from occupational courses that are not part of a transfer degree program may be counted as electives. Two (2) semester hours of Kinesiology (PHED) activity courses may count as electives. Six hours of activity courses will apply for PHED majors. Finally, the AA requires two semester in the same science area. The AS degree does not require that the two semesters of science be in the same area. All courses are acceptable as electives in the AS degree except developmental courses and occupational practicums. Be aware that your specific major and/or minor depends on the institution from which you plan to receive your baccalaureate degree. 12
