Recommended AA Transfer Curriculum

This is only a suggested transfer program and might not be appropriate for every student. Some four-year institutions accept more than 62 credit hours in transfer to fulfill requirements in political science. Also, some four-year institutions may require a varying requirement for math courses and possibly foreign language coursework. Consult the Transfer Center for help in selecting courses appropriate for the program at the college or university where you plan to transfer.

All full-time transfer students are required to take OCS 121.

Faculty are available during scheduled office hours to advise students about their courses and program. Peruse some of the offerings in the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences.
