Core Curriculum Incomplete - Articulation Agreement

Completion of this associate degree does not satisfy all of the Texas Core Curriculum requirements at South Plains College. Per Texas Administrative Code 19 Tex. Admin. Code § 2.53 , a college that has a signed articulation agreement with a General Academic Teaching Institution to transfer a specified curriculum may offer a specialized AA or AS (but not AAT) degree program that incorporates the currriculum. 

Please refer to the SPC to University Transfer Guides for information about the articulation agreement(s) associated with this program. https://www.southplainscollege.edu/universityguides

Additional coursework will be necessary in order to be considered “Core Complete” for transfer to another Texas public institution. Please consult with your faculty advisor to identify the additional coursework required.
