Institutional Requirement - 2 Credit Hours
General Education Requirements - 42 Credit Hours
CORE 42 is a statewide general education course of study intended to ensure that all graduates possess a common core of college-level skills and knowledge. CORE 42 specifies the basic competencies and knowledge areas that all students completing degrees at a Missouri public institution of higher education must complete. CORE 42 is comprised of dozens of courses distributed across five knowledge areas. These courses are designated with a Missouri Transfer (MOTR) course number, which guarantees the one-to-one transfer of these courses among all Missouri public institutions of higher education. Please refer to MDHE Core Transfer Curriculum for detailed information on CORE 42 courses. All knowledge areas below, designated with the CORE 42 logo indicate all courses in that area have been evaluated and provided a MOTR number for transfer to all Missouri public institutions of higher education.
Mathematical Sciences - 3 Credit Hours
Written Communications - 6 Credit Hours
Oral Communications - 3 Credit Hours
Humanities and Fine Arts - 9 Credit hours (from at least two disciplines)
Natural Sciences - 8 Credit Hours (from two disciplines)
Social and Behavioral Sciences - 9 Credit Hours (include at least one Civics course, PLS 101 or HST 120 or HST 130)
Core Electives - 4 Credit Hours
Credit received from an OTC course may be greater than the MOTR transfer equivalency. The additional credit provided from OTC for a MOTR approved course will move the additional credit to the Core electives (e.g. CHM 160 at OTC = 4 credit hours. MOTR equivalency = 3 credit hours; additional 1 hour moved to Core electives). Any course with an approved MOTR number or additional hours from a MOTR approved course can be utilized to fulfill the Core electives requirement.
