Core Transfer Curriculum (CORE 42)

CORE42LogoColor

The Missouri Department of Higher Education (MDHE) has developed a standard core transfer curriculum and a common course numbering equivalency matrix for lower-division general education courses. This core curriculum is known as CORE 42. All Missouri public two and four-year institutions of higher education have adopted CORE 42 to facilitate the seamless transfer of coursework.

CORE 42 courses are designated with a Missouri Transfer (MOTR) course number that guarantees one-to-one transfer of these courses to all Missouri public institutions of higher education.

To identify MACC’s CORE 42 courses, look for the Core 42 symbol in the course title.

  • Course Offerings – CORE 42 courses are designated with their corresponding state-wide MOTR course number to the left of the MACC course number (i.e., ART 101 is designated as MOTR ARTS 101).
  • MACC College Catalog
  • MDHE CORE 42 Website
  • Course Transfer Tracker – The Course Transfer Tracker is a tool to see how general education courses will transfer to other public institutions in Missouri. This tool is continually updated; however, it is always best to check with your receiving institution to ensure that you are enrolling in the appropriate courses.

 

CORE 42 Transfer Guidelines

  • Students who complete the Associate of Arts degree at a Missouri community college and transfer to a Missouri public university shall have completed all lower-division general education requirements at the receiving institution. Students shall receive full credit, including any prerequisites or requirements in the major, for all MOTR courses transferred. The receiving institution cannot require the student to take additional lower-division general education courses. A student may, however, have to take additional lower-division courses to fulfill program or institutional requirements.
  • Students who complete the CORE 42 at any public institution shall be considered as having completed all lower-division general education requirements at a receiving institution. Students shall receive full credit, including any prerequisites or requirements in the major, for all MOTR courses transferred. The receiving institution cannot require the student take any additional lower-division general education courses. A student may, however, have to take additional lower-division courses to fulfill program or institutional requirements.
  • Students who do not complete either the Associate of Arts or the CORE 42 shall receive credit at a receiving institution for each MOTR course completed at a sending institution. Students shall receive full credit, including any prerequisites or requirements in the major, for all MOTR courses transferred. After receiving credit for MOTR courses, the student shall complete the CORE 42 at the receiving institution.

Core 42 Frequently Asked Questions: 

Many private institutions have decided to become signatory institution, which indicates that they will adhere to all CORE 42 policies.

The CORE 42 is only applicable in Missouri. Out-of-state institutions will evaluate your credits on a course-by-course basis.

New courses will be added each academic year.

In some disciplines, particularly the sciences and foreign language, there are courses with different credit hour designations that are identified as equivalent. Institutions across the state will continue to work to create consistency in these areas.

Any MOTR course in any knowledge area can be used to satisfy the five credit hours. Credits earned beyond the minimum in a particular knowledge are count toward these five hours (for example, if you complete 12 credit hours of Humanities and Fine Arts MOTR courses, nine credits will satisfy the Humanities and Fine Arts requirement and the remaining three credit hours will count toward the five hours).

As a result of his talent and hard work, he played professional basketball as a member of the Washington Generals, New York Nationals, and the Harlem Globetrotters.  He later played in the American Basketball Association for the American Bulldogs, a Kentucky Semi-Professional team for the 2006-2007 season. 

Nancy Ketchum

Ketchum is the first MACC staff member to be inducted into the Greyhound Hall of Fame.  She served as Greyhound Athletics Advisor, 1996-2005.  She founded the student athletics success program as the advisor, tutor, and mentor to MACC student-athletes. She diligently worked to motivate all athletes to be successful on and off the court.

Steffes was a staple of Greyhound Athletics for over 35 years as a fan, supporter, booster, “Music Man”, administrator, and bus driver Greyhound Women’s Team to their national tournament appearance in 2018.  As the Chief Financial Officer, Gary was responsible for ensuring the teams had proper financial support and funding to survive and thrive.  As a fan, he missed very few games and traveled to places far and wide with the Greyhounds, wearing the hat of an administrator if a problem arose.  His solid leadership skills offered constant support to coaches and other administrative staff through the years.  He understood and promoted the importance of Greyhound basketball to the community. Steffes also spearheaded the comeback of the Greyhound mascot and came up with the clever name of “MaJiC” as a nod to both the Magic City of Moberly and the college’s name of Moberly Junior College.
