§3164.1. Transfer pathways
A. The Board of Regents, in collaboration with the Statewide Articulation and
Transfer Council, shall develop, coordinate, and maintain transfer pathways for baccalaureate
programs that are highly demanded across the state. The Board of Regents shall define and
identify highly demanded programs.
B. Each transfer pathway shall consist of sixty hours of instruction that can be
transferred and applied toward the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in a highly
demanded program at a four-year public postsecondary institution.
C. Each transfer pathway shall contain courses from the common course numbering
system, developed pursuant to R.S. 17:3164, that satisfy graduation requirements for an
associate of arts or an associate of science degree approved by the council for transfer to a
four-year postsecondary institution.
D. All courses in a transfer pathway shall transfer and apply toward the general
education requirements and requirements for graduation within the highly demanded
program offered at any four-year public postsecondary institution.
E. A student who completes all of the requirements of a transfer pathway and who
transfers to a highly demanded program at a four-year public postsecondary institution shall
not be required to complete more than the total credits required for the baccalaureate degree
in the highly demanded program, less the sixty hours of credit earned in the transfer pathway.
F. Credit for a course in a transfer pathway that is included in the statewide common
course numbering system may be earned through accelerated programs such as dual
enrollment, Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, College-Level Examination
Program, and competency-based education, or prior learning assessment that have been
deemed equivalent by the Board of Regents.
