Texas Transfer Framework

Field of Study courses to make transferring to a public 4-year college in Texas as seamless as possible.

What is the Texas Transfer Framework? 

The Texas Transfer Framework (TTF) is intended  to make transferring credits between public colleges in Texas seamless and transparent. It's important if you plan to transfer from a 2-year college to a 4-year college. Or if you have dual credit from high school and are entering a Texas public college. Designed for the most popular degree plans, it outlines the courses to earn an associate degree for transfer.  

If you complete the Texas Core Curriculum (TCC) and Field of Study at any public two-year institution, you automatically qualify to receive an associate degree – the Texas Direct Transfer Degree. You also qualify to transfer your courses as a block applied directly to your selected major. 

By design, this reduces the odds of taking the wrong courses and wasting credit hours. You will enter the university as a junior and as many courses as possible will apply toward your major. 

Courses that make up the Texas Transfer Framework 

The package of courses defined in the TTF is called the Field of Study Curriculum. It consists of Discipline- specific TCC courses, Discipline Foundation Courses (DFC), and Directed Electives (DE).  

Texas Core Curriculum 
The TCC is a set of undergraduate courses that help transfer lower-division course credit among Texas public schools. The exact number of credit hours will change based on each Field of Study Curriculum. 

Discipline Foundation Courses 
These are up to 12 credit hours of major-specific courses outlined by the college for your major.  

Directed Electives 
These are at least 6 credit hours of major-specific electives you can take based on your interests and needs. 

Understanding Field of Study courses 

Using criminal justice as an example, you can see the TCC, DFC and DE courses specific to that major below.

Which degree plans apply? 

Check below to see if your major has a corresponding updated Field of Study. Then see if any required courses differ based on the college you want to transfer to. Even if you are deciding between two majors and one has a framework and one does not, knowing the required courses could be helpful.  

Unsure of a major? It’s still a good idea to familiarize yourself with the Field of Study courses in case they become relevant later in your academic journey.
