Courses of Study
- Economics - A.A. (TTP) – This pathway requires a one-year sequence (6 credits) in a single foreign language.
- Economics - A.S. (TTP) – This pathway allows for more classes in the math area of emphasis in the place of foreign language credits.
This pathway is for students planning to continue their education to earn a bachelor’s degree in economics, finance, or banking.
Transfer Options
Tennessee Transfer Pathways (TTPs) are advising tools designed to help community college students plan for transferring to a Tennessee public university or select regionally accredited, non-profit Tennessee private colleges and universities to complete their baccalaureate degree. The TTPs also constitute an agreement between community colleges and four-year colleges/universities confirming that community college courses meet major preparation requirements. For transfer to other four-year institutions, contact an advisor at the senior institution.
Note: Due to the transferability to a four-year institution, there are to be no course substitutions where a specific course is required in the TTP curriculum guide.
