The core curriculum is a set of courses in the liberal arts, humanities, sciences, and political, social, and cultural history, that all undergraduates of an institution of higher education are required to complete before receiving a degree.
Completion of the core curriculum does not complete the requirements for an associate degree. In order to fulfill the college's academic standards and in an attempt to help the students become well-rounded, educated individuals, the following core curriculum is required.

If a student successfully completes the core curriculum at an institution of higher education, that block of courses may be transferred to any other institution of higher education and must be substituted for the receiving institution's core curriculum. A student shall receive academic credit for each of the courses transferred and may not be required to take additional core curriculum courses at the receiving institution unless the Coordinating Board has approved a larger core curriculum at that institution.
Field of Study Curriculum
The Field of Study Curriculum is a set of courses that will satisfy the lower-division academic requirements for a Bachelor's degree in a specific academic area. All public four-year/upper level institutions are required to accept the Field of Study Curriculum in fulfillment of those lower-division courses required in majors that correspond to the field of study. Approved Field of Study courses offered by Victoria College are designated in the suggested transfer plans for those academic areas in which Field of Study Curriculum is offered [Business, Computer Science, Criminal Justice, Interdisciplinary Studies (Early Childhood-4), Interdisciplinary Studies (grades 4-8) and Music].
