Field of Study (FOS)
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) has developed Fields of Study (FOS) to streamline transfer pathways that save students and families time, money, and effort. Students who complete the Texas Core Curriculum and Field of Study at any public two-year institution automatically qualify to receive an associate degree – the Texas Direct Transfer Degree. They are also qualified to transfer their courses as a block applied directly to their selected major. For more information on this THECB initiative, students may reference Texas Direct.
