What You Need to Know about Transferring Parkland Courses
Parkland 好色先生tv courses with an even middle digit in the course number will transfer to most four-year institutions as a general education course, a major's听core course, or an elective.听
Courses identified as General Education Core Curriculum (GECC)-eligible will transfer to public听four-year institutions in the state of Illinois as a general education course. If a student completes the full GECC package, it will transfer as a unit. When a student completes only a portion of the GECC, the transfer institution will consider acceptance of each course individually.
- For students interested in a specific area of study, we recommend reviewing the relevant Areas of Study page that will help identify core courses recommended by most public four-year institutions in Illinois.

The Associate in Fine Arts (AFA) degree is designed for students interested in pursuing degrees specifically in Arts and Music.
Students should note that, depending on the area of study, the AFA听degree might not require all coursework required for completion of the General Education Core Curriculum (GECC). Additional courses to complete the general education requirements may be taken after transferring.
The Associate in Engineering Science (AES) degree is designed for students intending to pursue a specialized engineering degree at a four-year institution.听
Students should note that the AES听degree may include very little of the coursework required for completion of the General Education Core Curriculum (GECC). The number of general education courses required for the study of engineering is dependent upon the specific field of engineering and the transfer institution. Students are strongly encouraged to speak to an advisor concerning the best choice of classes for their goals.
