\nAll publicly funded colleges and universities in the state of Texas require a core curriculum and by law must accept each other’s core curriculum when taken in its entirety. That means if you take the entire core curriculum listed in the schedule\/catalog at any DCCCD school (Core Curriculum<\/a>), it will satisfy the core curriculum at a Texas state funded university. Many students may wish to take the core here regardless of whether they have decided upon a major.<\/p>\n
\nSome students have decided upon a university transfer major and wish to follow a course guide of exactly those courses the university has recommended be taken at a community college. For help translating their course numbers into the DCCCD numbers, visit http:\/\/ccn.tccns.org\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nFor students who wish to pursue an Associate of Applied Science degree or Certificate, curriculum guides may be found in the Degree Plans<\/a>. There you will find Richland’s (along with other colleges offering the same options) career and technical degrees\/certificates for the workforce. Associate degree and certificate options for the entire Dallas County Community College District may be found in the Degree Plans (by Location)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nThose who wish to continue their career and technical education beyond the applied associate degree and\/or certificate may pursue a Bachelor of Applied Science degree from schools like Amberton, Dallas Baptist, DeVry, LeTourneau, Northwood, University of North Texas, University of Phoenix, and University of Texas at Arlington. Transfer information for several of these schools is located in Degree Plan Information<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nIn addition to the sources above, a comprehensive list of advising resources can be found in the Online Advising Resource Manual<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nSuccessful students take advantage of the many free resources offered at Richland. Visit our Current Students<\/a> webpage for a comprehensive list of student support services. Here are only a few:<\/p>\n
