Texas Core Description The Texas Education Code requires all public colleges and universities to have a core curriculum and every degree has a Texas core. Core curriculum is defined as the curriculum in the liberal arts, humanities, sciences, and political, social and cultural history that all undergraduate students of a particular Texas institution of higher education are to complete before receiving an associate or bachelor s degree. The purpose of the core curriculum is to provide the skills, knowledge and perspectives that help define the educated person. The core curriculum focuses on strengthening six basic intellectual competencies - reading, writing, speaking, listening, critical thinking and computer literacy - that are essential to the learning process in any discipline. If you complete Collin s core curriculum of 42 credit hours, a Texas Core Certificate is awarded and documented on your official transcript. Transfer Guarantee. The State of Texas guarantees acceptance by a public four-year university of any complete core curriculum transferred from any other Texas public institution. However, if you do not complete the entire core curriculum at Collin College, the college you transfer to will determine on a course-by-course basis whether credit is applied to an associate or baccalaureate degree. It is usually in your best interest to complete the core curriculum before transferring to another Texas public college or university. The Collin Core Curriculum is the collection of general education selected by Collin faculty in eight areas that have been approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to strengthen six basic competencies (reading, listening, writing, speaking, critical thinking, and computer literacy) and to build a basic core of knowledge.
