Program Description
This transfer guide outlines the degree requirements for the Fashion Merchandising and Marketing, AAS at JCCC and transfer course equivalents at UCM for the Fashion: Textiles and Clothing in Business, BS.
- The JCCC Fashion Merchandising and Marketing, AAS is 64 credit hours total.
- The UCM Fashion: Textiles and Clothing in Business, BS is 120 credit hours total.
Students may be able to complete additional courses at JCCC and transfer to UCM. Please consult with your advisor and visit the UCM General Education Program guide for details. All students must complete a minimum of 42 credit hours in general education.
NOTE: Courses taken to fulfill General Education requirements may not be taken on the pass/fail basis.
Students should be cognizant of UCM’s Residence Requirement, especially if enrolling in more than 60 hours at JCCC. Visit the UCM General Education Program guide for details.
UCM Upper-Level Requirement: Students should also be familiar with UCM’s Upper-Level Requirement. Upper-level credit is coursework completed at the 3000 and 4000 level. Hours earned as SC or CR credit (AP/CLEP/IB/military credits/work experience/prior learning) do not count towards upper-level credit. Transfer credit will retain the leveling as designated by the original granting institution regardless of whether a UCM equivalent’s leveling is different. All courses taken at a two-year college and any 1000/2000 level courses taken at a four-year institution will not be applicable toward upper-level hour (3000/4000 level) requirements, even if these courses are articulated to upper-level UCM courses or used as substitutions for upper-level UCM courses.
