All Elective courses should be carefully selected to meet requirements at transfer institution.

Students who intend to transfer to MTSU’s, ETSU’s, or UTK’s secondary education program should follow the Mathematics AA/AS TTP and not the AST TTP. ETSU and UTK recommend and MTSU requires that students take education courses after transfer. Students who intend to transfer to TTU or UTM should take EDU 2000 Introduction to Education.

Students should confer with their advisor or representative of the university to which they intend to transfer to determine the recommended history courses. Students who intend to transfer to UTK should take a 6 credit hours of a non-U.S. History sequence to fulfill the History requirements. UTC requires that one of the History courses be a non-Western culture course.

UM requires two of the following three courses to satisfy the social behavioral science requirement: Survey of World Regions, Intro to Cultural Geography, or American Government; UM also requires Intro to Biology and lab in place of PHYS 1040.

PHYS or CHEM are recommended for the Science courses. Students who intend to transfer to UTC should take either calculus-based Physics sequence. UTM requires an additional Chemistry sequence 1010/1020 and PHYS.

*History courses – students are advised to consult with his/her transfer institution to determine if a particular history course or sequence is required.
