What this means
Generally, a baccalaureate degree consists of three components:
- Core Curriculum or General Education requirements (usually 36-54 credits)
- Major courses (consists of specific courses and electives within the major)
- Free Electives (college level courses from any discipline that are used to complete the remaining credit requirements for the degree.
- A fourth component: Education and business programs usually have core requirements of their own in addition to the college/university's core.
Upon transfer, the Core-to-Core agreement allows the transfer student to primarily concentrate on completing the remaining courses in the major and free electives in the junior and senior year.
Therefore, students don't have to worry about matching the exact individual course requirements of Gwynedd-Mercy College's core (exception: core courses specific to major) while at Bucks. Completing the Associate of Arts degree does this for them
