The Baccalaureate Core or "Bacc Core" is the general education component of undergraduate education at Oregon State University (OSU) through the end of Spring term 2025, after which it will be replaced by OSU's new general education requirements, Core Education. Core Education will replace Bacc Core requirements starting in Summer 2025. Students planning to transfer to OSU who wish to remain under the Bacc Core requirements should plan to transfer no later than Spring 2025. After that, students will be required to complete the Core Education requirements to receive a bachelor's degree at OSU.

COCC will use the baccalaureate core for Associate of Science programs with an emphasis on transfer to Oregon State University through the end of Academic Year 24-25, and will update those programs with the new Core Education requirements for the Academic Year 25-26 Catalog. Students can verify transfer information at the OSU baccalaureate core equivalencies website. Contact CAP Services at 541-383-7200 for more information about transferring to OSU during this period of transition between general education requirements.
