Transfer Credit Framework. The Commonwealth’s statewide college credit transfer system includes an advising tool called the “Transfer Credit Framework”. The Framework allows students to seamlessly transfer up to 30 credits of foundation courses from one participating college or university to another and have those courses count toward graduation. See Appendix B or go to xxx.XXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. . Through the Transfer Credit Framework, the commonwealth’s Transfer and Articulation Oversight Committee identified six categories of foundation-level coursework that is common among the participating institutions. Each category consists of multiple course options. However, some Framework courses are more relevant to the field of Environmental Geoscience than others. A list of highly recommended courses in each category is included in Appendix A: Program-to-Program Articulation Agreement for Environmental Geoscience. It is important to note that many worthwhile and useful courses, such as an introductory course in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), may not be part of that the Transfer Credit Framework, so we do not recommend that students take only Framework courses, but rather that they confer with a counselor both at the 2-yr and intended 4-yr transfer institution to determine the best possible courses. Under this Agreement, students should select additional courses according to the criteria indicated for Framework Category 1, Category 2, Category 5 and Category 6. In Framework Category 3, students may apply a maximum of 4 credits completed as part of the Required Major-Specific Content Area of Calculus. Likewise, a maximum of 8 credits in Chemistry, a Required Major-Specific Content Area, may be used to satisfy the requirements of Framework Category 4. See Appendix A: Program-to-Program Articulation Agreement for Environmental Geoscience. The Program Articulation Committee for Physical Sciences urges TAOC to consider adding more courses in Math (Calculus II) and the Physical Sciences (Physical and Historical Geology, Physics II, Calculus-based Physics I and II, Meteorology) to the Transfer Credit Framework, benefiting majors and non-majors alike. Students at two-year colleges may be less likely to take courses that are not part of the framework, and consequently 1) may be less likely to find a good "fit" for their interests, since they may pass over an intriguing course in favor of one listed in the Framework and 2) may consequently be at a disadvantage when they start work toward a ...
Transfer Credit Framework. The Framework consists of a menu of 49 courses that fall within six broad categories: English, public speaking, math, science, fine arts and humanities, and the behavioral and social sciences. To fully benefit from the Framework, students are advised to select a range of courses according to the criteria for each category. Under this Agreement, students may select courses according to the criteria indicated for Framework Category 1, Category 2, Category 5 and Category 6. In Framework Category 3, students may apply a maximum of 4 credits (1 course) completed as part of the Required Major-Specific Content Area of Discrete Mathematics and a maximum of 4 credits (1 course) completed as part of the Required Major-Specific Content Area Related Mathematics. Likewise, a maximum of 8 credits (2 courses) in a lab-based science sequence, recommended coursework outside of the field of Mathematics, may be used to satisfy the requirements of Framework Category 4. See Appendix A: Program-to- Program Articulation Model for Computer Science. Students are advised to work with an advisor to select courses related to their associate degree program, transfer major and personal interests. Designing and Developing Programs Completion of courses addressing the required competencies specified in this Agreement for Design and Developing Programs. Computer Organization Completion of courses addressing the required competencies specified in this Agreement for Computer Organization. Discrete Mathematics • Completion of courses addressing the required competencies specified in this Agreement for Discrete Mathematics. • Computer Science majors may use credits from this requirement to satisfy the requirements of Category 3 in the Transfer Credit Framework.

Statistics Completion of courses addressing the required competencies specified in this Agreement for Statistics.
Transfer Credit Framework. In accordance to Article XX-C of the Public School Code of 1949, the Commonwealth’s statewide college credit transfer system includes an advising tool called the “Transfer Credit Framework.” The Framework allows students to transfer up to 30 credits of foundation courses from one participating college or university to another and have those courses count toward graduation. The Framework consists of six categories which include courses in English, public speaking, math, science, art, humanities, history and the behavioral and social sciences. To fully benefit from the Framework, students are advised to select a range of courses from all six categories as designated in the Transfer Credit Framework Policy noted in Appendix C. Under this Agreement, students may select courses according to the criteria indicated for Framework Category 1, Category 2, Category 5 and Category 6. In Framework Category 3, students may apply a maximum of 8 credits completed as part of the Required Outside of Discipline Coursework in Calculus. Likewise, a maximum of 8 credits in General Chemistry, required coursework outside of the field of Physics, may be used to satisfy the requirements of Framework Category 4. See Table 1. Students are advised to work with an advisor to select courses related to their associate degree program, transfer major and personal interests.

Credit requirements are presented as a range since actual credit number may vary by specific course and institution. Students are advised not to exceed the credit number indicated in each Framework Category. See Appendix B: Transfer Credit Framework. Some Framework courses are more relevant to the field of Geography than others. Students should work with an academic advisor to select the best options for their major and transfer institution.
