LSCO at Texas State University
Academic Core Transfer

Gateway Program
Co-enroll at LSCO and Texas State, attend classes on the San Marcos campus, and earn guaranteed admission to TXST after one year.
LSCO AAS in San Marcos
Earn a full LSCO associate degree with all courses offered right on the Texas State San Marcos campus for the full university experience.
Academic Core Transfer
LSCO participates in the Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS), making it easy to transfer your credits to Texas State and other four-year universities across the state. Whether you're completing core coursework, earning a certificate, or finishing an Associate of Applied Science degree, your LSCO education is designed to move with you.
Start at LSCO and take advantage of affordable tuition, small class sizes, and personalized support — then transfer to Texas State when you're ready to pursue your bachelor's degree.
LSCO x TXST Gateway Program
The Gateway Program is a co-enrollment opportunity that lets you begin your college journey on the Texas State San Marcos campus while completing coursework at both TXST and LSCO. You'll enjoy full student privileges at both schools, save approximately $6,600 in your first year, and earn guaranteed admission to Texas State — no reapplication needed.
Gateway students take a mix of TXST and LSCO courses on the San Marcos campus over two semesters (fall and spring), then transition into full Texas State enrollment the next year. It's the perfect option for students who want the four-year university experience from day one while keeping costs manageable.
LSCO Associate Degrees on the TXST San Marcos Campus
Now you can earn a full Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree from LSCO with all courses offered on the Texas State University San Marcos campus. Unlike the Gateway co-enrollment program, students in these programs are enrolled as LSCO students — taking LSCO courses at LSCO tuition rates — while living and learning in the San Marcos community.
This is a unique opportunity to experience life at a major university campus while completing an affordable, career-focused associate degree. The following AAS programs are available on the TXST campus:
