Foreign language courses are offered in two formats. Any of the courses in the 1411. 1412. 2311. 2312 series fulfill the modern language requirement for the AA and AS Degrees at San Antonio College. These courses transfer to universities as language credit and allow for a full range of language placement and proficiency.

The 1300, 1310 (or 1311, 1312) series focuses on conversation. These courses also meet the modern language requirement for the AA and AS Degrees at San Antonio College, but many transfer to universities as electives rather than as language credit. Students should consult the Foreign Language Department and/or Counseling Center for advice and placement.

Students taking American Sign Language courses for foreign language credit should check with the American Sign Language/Interpreter Training Department of San Antonio College for transfer information.

This. however. excludes MATH 1350 and MATH 1351.

Four hours must be in a laboratory science. Some four-year universities may require eight semester hours in natural science. For information on transfer requirements. students should check with the appropriate natural sciences department. the College’s Transfer Center. or the four-year university to which they plan to transfer.

Exceptions exist for students with more than two years of military service and those whom hysicians certified as physically unable to participate.

For a degree awarded entirely by distance, KINE 1238 Concepts of Physical Fitness and Wellness satisfies the requirement for Kinesiology/Dance. Additionally, KINE 1238 may be substituted for a single one-hour activity course for a non-distance degree.

All electives should be chosen in accordance with the degree requirements at the college or university to which the student will be transferring.

All electives should be chosen in accordance with the degree requirements at the college or university to which the student will be transferring.

Some four-year institutions may not accept all courses in the major field of study as part of their Baccalaureate Degree Program. Students should check with the Department of Theatre and Speech Communication, the Department of Counseling and Student Development, or the four-year university to which they plan to transfer for information on transfer agreements.

It is strongly suggested that drama majors take one technical production lab hour each semester to total four technical production lab hours in four semesters. This is a consistent requirement for drama majors in all major universities. If a drama major fails to fulfill four technical production lab hours at the freshman and sophomore levels, the student must double-up their lab hours at the junior and senior levels.
