Bachelor of Science Degrees/Colorado Community College Transfer

The following BS degree majors and concentrations can be completed at Mesa State College in 60 remaining semester credit hours when the community college AA/AS general education core, as instituted under the Guaranteed Transfer Pathways program, has been completed and degree awarded. To accomplish this, the student must 1) complete any required courses at the community college, 2) follow the planned course sequence layout for each semester, 3) meet all degree major-specific requirements and all Mesa State graduation requirements, including GPA. Details of these requirements are found in the degree-specific transfer guide and on the student’s degree/program sheet. Students need to work closely with their advisors throughout the process.

Community College Required and/or Recommended Courses

Required courses are to be taken at the community college as part of the 60 credit hours toward an AA/AS degree and serve as pre-requisites for upper division courses. Recommended courses will further help to prepare the student for the final 60 credit hours of the degree. Students at community colleges offering Physical Education courses may also want to check with an advisor regarding acceptable courses for fulfillment of Human Performance and Wellness graduation requirement.
