·          Completion of the 60-hour framework assures the transfer of the designated coursework to one of the programs listed above at an institution offering the program.  The additional institutional-specific courses listed will only be accepted toward the degree program at the institution indicated if the 60-hour framework has been completed.

§          Students are required to ensure that, prior to enrollment, the four-year institution receives an official, final transcript.
