Additional Information for Transferring Students

• Students transferring to UoM should take GEOG 1012  and GEOG 2010  to satisfy the Social/Behavioral Sciences requirement.
• Students should check with their advisor or a representative of the university to which they intend to transfer to determine the recommended history courses. Students who intend to transfer to UTK should take six credit hours of a non-U.S. history sequence to fulfill the history requirements. UTC requires that one of the history courses be a non-western culture class.
• UoM requires BIOL 1010  in place of PHYS 1040.
• For the Natural Science requirement, PHYS and CHEM are recommended. Students who intend to transfer to UTC should take either calculus-based or non-calculus-based Physics sequence. UTM requires an additional chemistry sequence (1010 and 1020) and PHYS.
• Students who plan to transfer to MTSU, ETSU, UTK in secondary education mathematics should follow the mathematics A.A./A.S. TTP and not the A.S.T. TTP. ETSU and UTK recommend, and MTSU requires, that students take education courses after transfer. Students who plan to transfer to TTU or UTM should take EDUC 1010 . 

Semester Hours Credit: 60*

*All secondary education mathematic majors who are required to take Learning Support must also complete MSCC 1300 - First-Year Experience .

Recommended Full-Time Schedule (Fall or Spring Start)

The following is a recommended full-time schedule. Learning Support, pre-requisites, and other academic factors may impact this schedule.  See your advisor to create a degree plan.

GPS (Graduation Planning System), along with the correct catalog, should be utilized by students for all of their educational planning.  Students can monitor their progress toward a degree or certificate and view missing requirements with the GPS audit, which is accessible through MyMotlow.
