Course requirements for specific majors vary among institutions; therefore students should verify acceptance of credits with the intended transfer college or university. Transferability may also be affected by the grade achieved. Students should meet with an academic advisor regularly to plan an academic schedule for their four-year degree goal. Many of these courses are available in the online format.
