Collin College provides general academic courses and electives for students who plan to transfer to a college or university. Because of the various transfer requirements at colleges and universities, and to ensure enrollment in appropriate courses, students should verify course transferability and degree applicability with a Collin College academic advisor and/or the college or university that they plan to attend.

To earn an associate degree, complete the 42 credit hour General Education Core, and 18 credit hours of general studies electives and the Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree requirements.

Check with your transfer institution before registering for general studies electives to make sure your courses will be degree applicable to your bachelor’s degree at the transfer institution.

Collin College’s Mathematics Department offers courses that support completion of an associate degree and prepare students for further study in mathematics, science, or engineering at a four-year college or university. The curriculum ranges from college algebra through upper-level calculus, with options appropriate for a variety of skill levels.

Most courses incorporate graphing calculator or computer components, as well as laboratory and core objective assessment activities that emphasize the application of mathematical concepts. Collin College also offers access to a Mathematics Laboratory, part of the Anthony Peterson Center for Academic Assistance, which provides individualized assistance, computer resources, and instructional support.
