Missouri Higher Education Core Curriculum Transfer Act

The Missouri Department of Higher Education has recommended a set of core curriculum of at least 42 credit hours. All public and some private colleges and universities have adopted the Core Transfer Curriculum, commonly known as the CORE 42.

The CORE 42 is a statewide general education core that ensures all students complete a common core of college level courses across five knowledge areas.
