Notes and Additional Curriculum Options

  1. The social sciences elective requirements can be satisfied by courses with the following prefixes: ECO, GEO, PLS, HIS, PSY, and SOC.
  2. The humanities elective requirements can be satisfied by completing literature (ENG), foreign languages, humanities (HUM), philosophy (PHI), art (ART), music (MUS), speech courses addressing performing arts or the history of theatre (CST), and religion (REL) courses. ENG 112, CST 100, CST 105, and CST 115 may not be used to satisfy humanities elective requirements.
  3. Students are encouraged to consult their faculty advisors or transfer colleges for advice regarding the selection of electives and other requirements specific to the engineering programs at the institutions where they plan to transfer.
  4. Transfer Articulation Agreement with the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University of Virginia. Graduates of this program with 3.4 GPAs will meet the transfer requirements to UVA and may pursue their bachelor degrees in engineering by taking on-site and distance education courses from UVA offered at John Tyler's campuses or attending classes in Charlottesville. JTCC graduates with GPAs of less than 3.4 may seek admission to the UVA portion of the program in the same manner as all other students wishing to enter UVA degree programs.
