2023-2024 Transfer Agreements Catalog

RSC Associate in Science - Mathematics-Education Emphasis to UCO Bachelor of Science in Education- Mathematics Education

The University of Central Oklahoma (UCO), in collaboration with Rose State College (RSC), 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 RSC and courses to be taken at UCO to meet this agreement.

Associate in Science (A.S.) - Mathematics-Education Emphasis

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

Rose State College General Education

This section is an outline of the general education pattern at RSC common to all majors. Some general education areas may vary by major. In those areas, consult an academic advisor or refer to the RSC 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.

MATH 2973 Introduction to Ordinary Differential Equations (UCO course MATH 3103)

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

See RSC 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.Ed.) - Mathematics Education

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
