Pathway Notes:

While an Associate of Arts degree at Brazosport College requires 60 credit hours, the following pathway includes 59 credit hours, applicable to the Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice.
It is highly recommended that if a student hasn’t yet decided on a transfer university, they should complete the entire general education core at Brazosport College prior to transfer. If a student completes the General Education Core at Brazosport College, Texas law guarantees the entire 42 credit hour block transfers to any public institution in Texas and substitutes for the university’s core. If a student transfers prior to completing the core, they are subject to the core rules and course requirements of the receiving institution. Both the Associate Bachelor degrees require completion of the 42 credit hour General Education Core Curriculum.

Foundations

Foundations courses provide the footing for the remainder of the Associates Degree and beyond. They provide the knowledge and skills upon which the other courses will build.
