Courses in the Core
All students at The University of Texas at Austin must complete a 42-hour core curriculum requirement, regardless of major. These core courses may be used to satisfy other degree requirements. However, a core course cannot be used to satisfy more than one core requirement. All graduates in the College of Natural Sciences must complete the entire core.
The active core course list is available on the University website dedicated to core curriculum. Petitions may be submitted by students who feel they met a core requirement with a course that is not on the approved list.
