2023-2024 Transfer Agreements Catalog

SSC Associate in Science - Computer Science to UCO Bachelor of Science - Computer Science

The University of Central Oklahoma (UCO), in collaboration with Seminole State College (SSC), participates in articulated transfer agreements to assist students in transferring smoothly from the associate degree to the baccalaureate degree. These agreements express a shared commitment to student access and success in higher education.

This document specifies courses to be taken at SCC and courses to be taken at UCO to meet this agreement.

Associate in Science (A.S.) - Computer Science

Students should refer to the associate degree requirements and an academic advisor for associate degree details to ensure a successful transition to UCO.

Seminole State College General Education

This section is an outline of the general education pattern at SSC common to all majors. Some general education areas may vary by major. In those areas, consult an academic advisor or refer to the SSC catalog or requirement sheet. An Associate in Science (A.S.) or Associate in Art (A.A.) degree from an accredited Oklahoma institution that includes the OSRHE minimum requirements will satisfy the UCO University Core.

Social Sciences 6 hours

GOV 1113 American National Government (UCO course POL 1113)
HIST 1483 American History to 1877 (UCO course HIST 1483)
OR

Language Arts 9 hours

ENG 1113 Composition I (UCO course ENG 1113)
ENG 1213 Composition II (UCO course ENG 1213)
SPCH 1143 Speech (UCO course MCOM 1113 Fundamentals of Speech)

Humanities 6 hours

Chosen from nonperformance courses defined as humanities by the institution granting the associates degree. Students should refer to associate degree requirements or consult with an academic advisor for appropriate course selection for specific majors.

Mathematics 3 hours

Students should refer to associate degree requirements or consult with an academic advisor for appropriate course selection for specific majors.

Science 8 Hours

One course must be a laboratory science. Students should refer to associate degree requirements or consult with an academic advisor for appropriate course selection for specific majors.

Students should refer to associate degree requirements or consult with an academic advisor for appropriate course selection for specific majors.

UCO Major Requirements Taken At SSC

The courses listed in this section are required at SSC for this major and will also meet UCO major requirements. The SSC course is followed by the UCO equivalent or substituted course.

CHEM 1315 General Chemistry I (UCO courses CHEM 1103 and CHEM 1112)
OR
PHYS 2114 General Physics (UCO course PHY 1114)
MATH 1513 Pre-Calculus for Engr-Phys-CS (UCO course MATH 1513)

MATH 2215 Calculus and Analytic Geometry (UCO course MATH 2313)
CS 2033 Script Programming (UCO major elective)
CS 2023 Programming in C++II (UCO major elective)
SSC transfer students are expected to self-study Java because the programming language will be used in subsequent courses at UCO.

Additional Coursework for the A.A. or A.S.

See SSC catalog and academic advisor for additional associate degree requirements.

Credited courses completed as part of the A.A. or A.S. that do not meet a specific UCO degree requirement transfer to UCO as electives and may count toward the 124-hour minimum. Students should consult an academic advisor to determine how elective courses apply toward the bachelor’s degree. Information for individual courses can be found on the UCO website under the UCO Transfer Equivalency Database.

Bachelor of Science (B.S.) - Computer Science

Degrees from UCO have requirements applicable to all degrees and requirements specific to the program/major.

Degree Requirement Minimums for All Programs/Majors

Students must meet all bachelor’s degree requirements at UCO to include minimums of:

40 hours of upper division coursework
30 hours in residence at UCO
15 of the last 30 hours must be taken in residence at UCO
60 hours from baccalaureate granting institutions
124 total hours

UCO Major Requirements

This section details the course requirements for this major at UCO. The UCO course is followed by the community college equivalent or substituted course. Some courses may be taken at the community college but may or may not apply to the associate major or degree. Consult with an academic advisor for that information.
