Suggested Academic Programs of Study and Requirements
at Senior Institutions.
Southwest
Mississippi Community College does not offer a major in
any academic field of study. Therefore, a student
who wishes to pursue a bachelor's degree in any field
must transfer to a senior college or university which
will specify the minimum and maximum number of credits
for the major.
Mississippi's
eight public universities require minimum ACT scores and
certain high school courses for admission of candidates.
Those who fail to meet the requirements must attain an
average of "C" or better in the following transferring
to one of the state universities:
Course:
Semester Hours:
English

College Algebra,
Trigonometry or Calculus

The suggested
programs of study outlined in the SMCC Catalog are
correlated with the senior institutions in Mississippi.
Students who plan to transfer to an out-of-state
institution should obtain the recommended program of
study for that institution and, with the assistance of a
faculty advisor or counselor, make any necessary
adjustments.
The suggested
programs of study are intended to provide the student
with a guide to the general education courses which
should be taken during the freshman and sophomore years.

semester hours which must include the basic core listed
below or an approved program of study:

Competency
The basic core
described above is designed to serve both students whose
formal education ends at the community college level and
those whose training will later become highly
specialized. Both types of students need broad
educational backgrounds - one type because they
lack a high degree of specialization and the other in
order to understand and appreciate the relationship of
their specialties to the complex society in which they
will live.
