Students who plan to transfer should consult an academic counselor to verify specific program requirements with their intended four-year institution. While an elective course may satisfy a requirement for a Central Virginia Community College program, it may not fulfill a requirement at a four-year institution.

1Students should confer with their intended transfer institution to determine transfer electives
2 MTH 167 may be replaced with MTH 161 and 162, but doing so will require MTH 263 to be taken during a summer session or students may not complete the program within 2 years.
3 Students may not complete a HIS course to fulfill this requirement
4Students must complete 3 credits from one of the three areas but may not be from the same area as course #5. Students who choose a Literature elective must have completed ENG 112 prior to enrollment.
5Students who take Organic Chemistry I (CHM 241 & 245) alone or followed by Organic Chemistry II (CHM 242 & 246) as their electives will finish their program with more than 61 credits.
