If a student successfully completes the state of Texas 42 semester credit hour baccalaureate core curriculum at any Texas public institution of higher education, that block of courses may be transferred to Texas Wesleyan University and will be substituted for Texas Wesleyan’s General Education Curriculum (GEC). For students pursing a Bachelor of Science in Health Science (BSHS), the General Education Curriculum in the BSHS program will be waived for those with an Associates of Applied Science in Nursing from a Texas public community college. A student who transfers from a private institution with a core curriculum equivalent to Texas Wesleyan University’s core curriculum may be able to transfer that block of courses as determined on a case by case basis. All students will still be required to take three hours of an approved religion course (unless already completed) as listed in the General Education Curriculum requirements. A student suspended or dismissed from a previous institution will not receive the waiver of the General Education Curriculum. Students should also note that although exempt from the General Education requirement, they may still be required to take specific prerequisites for required courses.
While not part of the General Education Curriculum, ASE 1111, Freshman Seminar, is required for all first semester freshmen and freshman transfer students with 11 or fewer completed credit hours. Students receive elective credit for this course. Students in the Linguistic Diversity Bridge Program are required to take ASE 1311, College Success and American Cultural Experience instead of ASE 1111. ASE 1112, Freshman Seminar Laboratory, is a mandatory course for all freshman students placed on academic probation following their first semester.
