The Louisiana State Board of Regents' 1999-2000 Student Transfer Guide and General Education Articulation Matrix represents Louisiana public higher education's ongoing effort to improve the transfer process. The courses in this guide's matrix are typically referred to as "general education" or "core curriculum" courses. Students should note that this matrix is limited to those general education courses for which full credit would likely be granted by most other Louisiana colleges and universities. The student is urged to contact the institution to which he/she is transferring to determine if courses will count toward degree requirements in a specific major. This guide contains an introduction, a description of the current Board of Regents' general education requirements, listings of Louisiana's public higher education institutions, which includes Louisiana's public two-year and four-year colleges and universities, and the general education articulation matrix. The required general education coursework for baccalaureate degree program includes a total of 39 hours in English, mathematics, computer literacy, natural sciences, arts, humanities, and social sciences. Information is included on transfer contacts, financial aid office contacts, housing contacts (if available), 1999-2000 annual tuition rates, general guidelines for transfer students, and determination of degree credit and course equivalencies for transfer courses.
