Core Curriculum Class List
The 42-semester credit hour UT Permian Basin general education core described here conforms to the requirements of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The purpose of the Texas core curriculum is that "through the Core Curriculum, students will gain a foundation of knowledge of human cultures and the physical and natural world; develop principles of personal and social responsibility for living in a diverse world; and advance intellectual and practical skills that are essential for all learning." (Undergraduate Education Advisory Committee, "Revising the State Core Curriculum: A focus on 21st century competencies." April 2011)
The table shows the core curriculum for students who enter UT Permian Basin for the Fall Semester and beyond. It includes the component area of each core course along with the UT Permian Basin course number and the Texas Common Course Number (TCCN).
Students should consult with an adviser in the Advising Center or their faculty advisor before choosing core curriculum courses or refer to degree requirements in their major.
