Our partner universities
We have partnered with some of Texas’ best universities to help you make a smooth transition. Take a look and see if your coursework transfers.
Bellevue University prefers that transfer students obtain an Associate’s Degree, or approximately 60 credit hours, prior to transfer. All applicants not meeting these standards will be referred to TSTC for additional coursework whenever possible. Both institutions will work together to mutually support the needs of their students, and the respective partner institutions.
This agreement is a general articulation agreement, allowing a smooth transition for students transferring between institutions and maximizes allowable transfer of credit.
TSTC and HPU enter into this Agreement in the spirit of cooperation and mutually recognize each other as quality Institutions of higher learning. This Agreement facilitates the transfer of credit from TSTC to HPU for admissions eligibility for the Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences (BAAS) degree.
Courses from TSTC earned with a letter grade of “C” or better will be considered for the BAAS degree at HPU. All courses earned at TSTC will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis to ensure that maximum credit can be applied to the BAAS earned at HPU.
This Agreement formally recognizes that both Institutions are active educational partners, committed to providing greater educational opportunities and services for students transferring between Institutions. Student benefits include: scholarships, joint admissions, and Honors College.
TSTC’s partnership with Lamar University will also permit eligible and interested students to transfer certain course work from LU to TSTC to complete requirements for the associate degree issued by TSTC. This process is called reverse transfer or reverse articulation.
This agreement helps to ensure that TSTC students can transfer completed courses to Stephen F.
