Second Degrees and General Education

1. Students who begin undergraduate studies at TTU after having completed the         baccalaureate degree at another regionally accredited U.S. university and who, in     addition, desires a baccalaureate degree from TTU will be regarded as having     completed their general education requirement at TTU, with two exceptions:

      a. These students must complete two semesters of American History (equivalent to           TTU's HIST 2010-2020) at the college level, in accordance with state law, unless the           second degree is to be in Engineering and the student has completed an
          academic-year course in American History in secondary school.

      b. These students must take any general education courses that are required for             progression in their major programs.

2. Students who begin undergraduate studies at TTU after having completed the     baccalaureate degree at a reputable*, non-U.S. university and who, in addition, desires     a baccalaureate degree from TTU will be regarded as having completed their general     education requirement at TTU, with three exceptions:

      a. These students must complete ESL 1010, 1020, and/or pass the English Placement           Test.

      b. These students must complete two semesters of American History (equivalent to           TTU's HIST 2010-2020) at the college level, in accordance with state law, unless the           second degree is to be in Engineering and the student has completed an
          academic-year course in American History in secondary school.

      c. These students must take any general education courses that are required for          progression in their major programs.

*Whether or not the non-U.S. institution is "reputable" would be determined through consultation with the Director of International Student Affairs, the relevant TTU department chairs, and appropriate faculty members.
