Up to 66 credits from your community and/or junior colleges accepted.
OWLS courses are typically 8 weeks vs traditional 16 weeks structure.
Our degree and department offers mostly online or hybrid courses that take place in the evening. (subjects: Career and Technical Education (CTE) & Occupational Education (OCED)).
Depending on your remaining requirements, if you need to take courses from other departments on campus, it may be more of the traditional style but Texas State does offer courses online, hybrid, and evening options.
Each degree plan is individualized to each student. The most common subject interests and courses related to those subjects can be found here. You can focus your upper level courses to an area/field.
OCED 4111, Prior Learning Assessment (PLA), allows you to develop a competency portfolio that will act as a vehicle for transcribing your work life experience and/or non-collegiate training into college level credit. Students can receive a max 24 credit hours from their submissions. This is compared to 8 courses (3 credits each) completed in a 1 credit course. You save time and money! This course can only be taken in our major and applied to our undergraduate degree.
