Appropriate coursework for a degree in the discipline AND preparation for transfer
“Double-counting” encouraged

Consider courses outside of the major
Consider limits of “small colleges”
Establish a balance between required and options

Do you have the curriculum?
Local CSU requirements?
Discipline faculty – do they “like” the TMC?
