2020 - 2021 Catalog
Core By Foundational Component Areas
|
Important: This is the required Core Curriculum for all students attending Dallas College. There are nine (9) Foundational Component Areas (FCA), including one Component Area Option (CAO). Each FCA has a set list of courses and maximum number of Semester Credit Hours (SCH) that must be completed to satisfy specific Core objectives. The core of learning in college is a set of courses that will provide you with the knowledge, skills and educational experiences you need to succeed in higher education. Those courses - called the Core Curriculum - lead to an associate degree here at Dallas College and transfer to four-year colleges and universities. Core courses are guaranteed to transfer to Texas public colleges and universities. This page includes Coordinating Board (CB) Codes. |
