The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) has designated the Texas Transfer Advisory Committee to govern the transfer rules and framework for curriculum of transfer students. Learn more on the THECB website.  

Field of Study Curriculum

Required by Texas state law and the Coordinating Board rules (Texas Education Code, Chapter 61, Section 61.823, and Coordinating Board rules, Texas Administrative Code, Title 19, Part 1, Chapter 4, Subchapter B), each Field of Study Curriculum (FOSC) consists of lower-level courses that transfer to WTAMU and apply to specific degree programs.

These FOSCs require the following components:

• Discipline-related Texas Core Curriculum courses in the Field of Study
• Up to 12 semester credit hours of Discipline Foundation Courses
• And at least 6 semester credit hours of Directed Electives, designated by the four-year institution being transferred to

Students that complete all the courses in an FOSC and then transfer to WTAMU, the FOSC courses will transfer as a “block” and will be applied to the student’s degree plan.

If a student completes the FOSC, the Texas Core Curriculum, and any college or university courses required of all students regardless of major, then the student is finished with all the lower-division courses.  Students that transfer to WTAMU before completing their FOSC, the courses will transfer individually to their degree plan and WTAMU may require them to complete the remaining courses to satisfy this requirement.
