19 Tex. Admin. Code § 2.88 - Approval and Semester Credit Hours
If the minimum number of semester credit hours required to complete a proposed baccalaureate program exceeds 120, the institution must provide detailed documentation describing the compelling academic reason for the number of required hours, such as programmatic accreditation requirements, statutory requirements, or licensure/certification requirements that cannot be met without exceeding the 120-semester credit hour limit. Board Staff will review the documentation provided and decide to approve or deny a request to exceed the 120-semester credit hour limit.
Notes
