2020-2021 CAP Course List for UT Tyler

University of Texas at Austin Coordinated Admission Program

CAP Curriculum

University of Texas at Tyler – Fall 2023 / Spring 2024

To be eligible for guaranteed fall 2024 admission to the UT Austin College of

Liberal Arts (excluding the Environmental Science major), 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, 2024.

CAP students may compete for fall 2024 external transfer admission in Business,

Communication, Education, Engineering, Fine Arts, Geosciences, Informatics,

Liberal Arts (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 general education courses are listed below (with UT Austin

transfer credit evaluations). For CAP purposes you can take any listed course,

subject to availability and UT Tyler’s placement, prerequisite, or other

requirements. Courses with grades lower than C− are not transferable and will

not count toward the required 30 CAP hours. Consult an academic advisor before

selecting courses, and review the Recommended Courses following the list.

Recommended Courses by UT Austin Major

These recommendations cover major-specific Mathematics, Science &

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

requirements in UT Austin degrees. (English Composition, U.S. History,

Humanities, and Government core requirements are the same in all majors.)

It is not a CAP requirement to follow a particular major or complete all

recommended courses, but taking courses needed in your planned field of study

avoids delays in degree progress and ability to declare a UT Austin major.

Some majors require beginning (freshman sequence) or intermediate (sophomore

sequence) foreign language proficiency, as indicated below. All majors require

two years of high school credit in a single foreign language; if you do not meet

this standard you must take university level courses for beginning proficiency.

Recommendations do not include Skills & Experience Flag requirements, which

are designed to be satisfied by courses taken in residence at UT Austin (see

http://ugs.utexas.edu/flags/students/ ).
