University Transfer, A.A.
General Information
University related curricula are offered for students planning to transfer to a Senior College and pursue a degree. The Associate of Arts degree is awarded to those students completing a University-related emphasis. The Associate of Arts degree may be earned by completing the general education core and specific courses related to the planned University-level major:
| General Education Core: English Composition I and II |
6 Semester Hours |
| MAT 1313 - College Algebra (or higher) |
3 Semester Hours |
| SPT 1113 - Public Speaking I |
3 Semester Hours |

Generally, one-half of the hours required for a bachelor’s degree may be transferred from a Community College and applied to that degree at a four-year College or University. The East Mississippi Community College district maintains a close working relationship with all Mississippi Senior Colleges to insure that all academic courses, which are intended for transfer, will do so. In this regard, EMCC is guided by the current Articulation Agreement between Mississippi’s Community Colleges (via the State Board for Community and Junior Colleges) and Mississippi’s Senior Colleges (via the Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning). This Articulation Agreement covers transfer courses between the state’s two-year and four-year schools.

Suggested University-Related Emphases
The selection of courses and course sequences depends largely upon a student’s career choice. The counselors, the instructional administrators, and the assigned faculty advisor are available to counsel with each student; but it is the student’s final responsibility to choose her or his own course of study.
The three Academic Divisions at EMCC are Social Sciences and Business, Humanities and Fine Arts, and Mathematics and Science. Each Academic Division provides students ample opportunity to select coursework that will lead to an Associate of Arts Degree that prepares them for transfer to a University.
East Mississippi Community College has designed its basic course requirements so that earned credits can be transferred readily to other accredited institutions. It should be clearly understood, however, that individual senior colleges and professional schools may have individual freshman and sophomore requirements which differ from the following course recommendations. Students contemplating transfer should consult the latest catalog of the institution to which they plan to transfer. If the senior institution requires an arrangement of courses different from any recommended in this section, students may deviate and schedule an arrangement to meet their individual need with their advisor’s authorization.
For best results in planning your transfer to a public Mississippi university or college, consult the Mississippi Articulation and Transfer Tool at http://www.matttransfertool.com and “Build Transfer Guide.”
Students are urged to enroll for no more than a total of 4 credit hours in general activities, varsity sports, etc. Refer to the catalog of the Senior College or University for any different requirements.

The term Sequence means that a student should be consistent in choosing the specific type of course. For example, a common History sequence is HIS 2213 - American (U.S.) History I and HIS 2223 - American (U.S.) History II . All courses EMCC provides or hosts are listed in the Uniform Course Numbering System for the community and junior colleges of the state of Mississippi.
