Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs By Department

The Tennessee Board of Regents community colleges and the state’s public universities have joined together to develop a common core of courses for the Associate of Science (A.S.) degree. This common curriculum allows students to transfer, without loss of credit, from Chattanooga State to any Tennessee public university as juniors. All earned credit hours outlined on the pathway will apply toward a bachelor’s degree in the same discipline. The pathway guarantees admission to all public universities in the state, except for the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where competitive admission standards will still apply.

Note(s)


(Catalog Addendum - August 15, 2025 - To enhance clarity and consistency across the program curriculum, the terms ”first” and ”second” were removed from each semester section. This change supports a more flexible interpretation of course sequencing and better aligns with varied student pathways through the program.)
