Texas State at the RRHEC 

A variety of Bachelor’s degrees are offered at the RRHEC. Texas State University-San Marcos partners with the two local community colleges to offer degrees that are convenient for working adults to pursue. The community colleges offer the freshman and sophomore classes while Texas State offers the junior and senior level courses for the degree programs listed below.

If you already know what program you want to pursue please visit our Getting Started page: http://www.rrhec.txstate.edu/prospective/starting.html

Students can go into law enforcement careers by studying criminal justice. Students with interest in the computer and technology fields can study Computer Science. Students who want to become a teacher can enroll in the Interdisciplinary degree program and teach elementary school children. If students want to work in the business world, they can pursue the Bachelor of Business Administration.

Students who have already accumulated many hours from community colleges or have military experience but have never completed a bachelor’s program can complete a degree through the Bachelor of Arts in Applied Sciences (BAAS) program, also known as the Occupational Education, which is an individualized program that builds on credits and experience you have already acquired elsewhere.

Degree programs at the RRHEC

Austin Community College (ACC) offers the core curriculum at the RRHEC and support courses for the undergraduate degrees offered by Texas State. You can earn an Associate’s Degree from ACC by attending classes at the RRHEC. ACC does not offer all the classes for specific programs, so if that is your goal, you may need to take some classes at an ACC campus.

Transfer Planning Guides

When considering transfer to the RRHEC to pursue a bachelor's degree, students are strongly encouraged to obtain a Transfer Planning Guide (TPG) for their desired major. The TPG outlines the required courses to be completed at ACC or Temple College. If you plan to major in EC-6/ESL Interdisciplinary studies you will need a Worksheet for Advisement rather then a TPG.

Transfer Planning Guides for all bachelor degree programs at the RRHEC may be obtained at:
