2019-2020 CAP Course List for UT Rio Grande Valley

University of Texas at Austin Coordinated Admission Program

CAP Curriculum (tentative)

University of Texas Rio Grande Valley

–

Fall 2019 / Spring 2020

To be eligible for guaranteed fall 2020 admission to the UT Austin College of

Liberal Arts (excluding the majors in Economics or Environmental Science),

Coordinated Admission Program students must complete 30 transferable semester

hours of approved coursework (including a mathematics course other than

College Algebra) with at least a 3.2 grade point average by June 1, 2020.

CAP students may compete for fall 2020 external transfer admission in Business,

Communication, Education, Engineering, Fine Arts, Geosciences, Liberal

Arts (Economics or Environmental Science), Natural Sciences, Nursing, pre-

Pharmacy, and Social Work. Pursuing admission in these UT Austin programs

does not compromise guaranteed admission to Liberal Arts.

Approved CAP courses are listed below (with UT Austin transfer credit

evaluations). For CAP purposes you can take any listed course, subject to

availability and UT Rio Grande Valley’s placement, prerequisite, or other

requirements. Courses in which grades lower than C− are earned do not transfer.

Consult an academic advisor before selecting courses, and review the

Recommended Courses following the list.

Courses and recommendations below are preliminary and subject to ongoing revision, as changes in UT Rio Grande Valley courses

and UT Austin degree requirements become known for 2019–2020. Final information is expected in late May/early June 2019.

Recommended Courses by UT Austin Major

The following recommendations cover major-specific Mathematics, Science &

Technology, Visual & Performing Arts, Social Science, or Foreign Language

requirements in UT Austin degrees. (English Composition, Humanities, History,

and Government requirements are the same in all degrees.)

While it is not a CAP requirement to follow a particular degree plan or take all

recommended coursework, you are strongly encouraged to choose courses needed

in your planned major field of study. Otherwise, you may delay your degree

progress or affect your eligibility to declare a major (especially in programs that

require completion of specific courses for admission).

Some majors explicitly require beginning (freshman year) or intermediate

(sophomore year) foreign language proficiency. Students in all majors are

required to have two years of high school credit in a single foreign language; if

you do not meet this standard you must achieve beginning proficiency in

university-level courses.
