UMKC General Education Overview
Graduation Plan - Courses and Critical Benchmarks
The following is a sample course of study. It is the student’s
responsibility to ensure that all program requirements are
met. This guide is not a substitute for academic advisement.
All students must develop an academic plan (which
maps out all courses needed to graduate within your
intended major/degree) with their academic counselor.
This Transfer Major Map is based on the MCC Associate
of Arts degree in place during the 2013-2014 catalog
year.
UMKC recommends that students earn the certified 42
Hour Block in order to satisfy the majority of UMKC’s
General
Education
Core
requirements.
UMKC
recommends that students participate in the Missouri
Reverse Transfer program in order to earn their
Associate of Arts degree while completing the Bachelor
of Arts degree at UMKC. Courses noted as "RT" may
help students complete the Associate of Arts. Final
verification of the Associate of Arts degree is done by
Metropolitan Community College.
Your path to graduation may vary slightly based on factors such as college credit you earned while in high school, transfer work from other
institutions of higher learning and placement in Mathematics. You are responsible for checking prerequisites to any courses. Critical
courses and minimum recommended grades provide feedback regarding major fit and help indicate likelihood of successful completion of
chosen academic program and degree.
