Core Curriculum

All bachelor's degrees require completion of a core curriculum. Beginning in Fall 1999, University of Houston students who must complete the requirements of the new core curriculum are as follows:

1. All undergraduate students entering the university for the first time, whether as first-time-in-college students or as transfer students, unless they are transferring from a Texas junior/community college and satisfy all of the following conditions:
   • initially enrolled at a Texas junior/community college no later than summer 1999

   • transferred to UH within three years of their initial enrollment at a Texas junior/community college

   • did not interrupt their enrollment for more than 13 months.

2. All former students returning to the university for a bachelor's degree program who have interrupted their enrollment for more than 13 months.

3. All postbaccalaureate students who enroll in a bachelor's degree program unless they are University of Houston graduates who have not interrupted their enrollment for more than 13 months.

4. All continuing students who obtain permission from the dean of the college of their major to graduate under the degree requirements of the new core.

Other students, including most students enrolled at the University of Houston prior to Fall 1999, will not be required to satisfy the new core requirements; instead, they may choose to satisfy either the old core curriculum (see previous catalogs) or the new core curriculum. Students choosing to complete the old core must complete certain portions of it by Summer 2001; if they do not, they must complete the new core. Students who have completed a substantial portion of the old core may petition for an extension through their departments.

Further information on core eligibility and on courses that satisfy core curriculum requirements can be obtained by consulting the core curriculum web site (www.uh.edu/academics/corecurriculum), the current class schedule,or an academic advisor.
