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 or Associate of Arts Degree in order to
satisfy the majority of UMKC’s General Education Core
requirements. If students do not earn the certified 42
Hour Block or Associate’s Degree before starting at
UMKC, they will be responsible for completing all
remaining UMKC General Education Core requirements.
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.
