Core Curriculum Recommendations

---

UNTD adheres to the Texas Core Curriculum established inn Texas Education Code Chapter 61, Subchapter S. Courses designated on the transcript as a Core Foundation Area will be applied to the Texas Core Curriculum. As a new Freshman students starting at UNTD (or transfer student looking ahead to attend UNTD), taking the recommended UNTD courses (or equivalent) can reduce hours to degree and/or provide more opportunities for elective courses.
