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 the free electives in the junior and senior year.
Therefore, students don't have to worry about matching the exact individual course requirements of Temple's core while at Bucks. Completing the Associate of Arts degree does this for them.
*In addition to the two writing intensive courses, there are exceptions to this agreement for specific degrees and programs. Contact Temple or your transfer advisor for more information.
