Questions/Clarification on the CAP Program Requirements
I’m doing my CAP year fully online at UTEP. Attached is my schedule, with courses highlighted based on which ones are available online.
A few notes:
- ENGL 1301+1302 and SPCH 1315 via dual credit, plus AP Human Geo (passed it)
- Advisor told me UNIV 1301 (not offered online) isn't required for UTEP CAP (while required for UT Arlington CAP as I saw on the CAP website)
Just making sure:
- Does contemporary math (e.g., MATH 1319 at UTEP) count as 'beyond college algebra' and meet the math requirement for CAP, or will I have to take another listed higher math course? Someone said it isn't considered as 'above' college algebra.
- Is dual credit GPA excluded entirely from CAP GPA for guaranteed admission, meaning it will be solely based on the grades that I earn at my assigned CAP institution?
- Under Science/Technology, do I have to take three lecture sciences, or may I take one? Do I also have to take a course under Humanities (ENGL 2311/2312) if I have those English Composition dual credit courses, or is humanities suggested?
- Does CAP guarantee your second-choice major (if you didn’t get into the competitive first-choice one), or a 3.2 GPA isn’t enough at all, where they’ll put me UNDECLARED? I’m deciding between putting BSDS as a first-choice or second-choice major option.
Ultimately, you could also just check if my CAP schedule meets CAP requirements. If anyone that did CAP had a similar schedule as the one I have, please feel free to share which campus you attended and the course numbers you took. That would be helpful too!

Core Requirements for the CAP Program
I have selected and enrolled in UT Permian Basin. I got my schedule figured out, but I'm afraid of how difficult some of the courses might be, especially when there's a limited number of 100-percent online courses for CAP (not all of them are online), and that I have to hit a 3.2 GPA.
I already have ENGL 1301 and 1302 via dual credit. I currently have this schedule.
Fall: HIST 1301, MATH 1332, PLSC 2305, SOCI 1301, SPAN 2311
Spring: HIST 1302, ENGL 2327, PLSC 2306, ARTS 1301, SPAN 2312
Some of these courses appear difficult to me, so I was wondering if CAP allows me to take more than one course in core areas like social science and visual/performing arts to use them as free electives later at UT Austin, even though those core areas are already complete with one course in those areas.
My intended major (behavioral & social data science) at UT Austin requires two social science courses, with Intro to Psychology being one of them, and then there's another slot requiring an additional social science, where Intro to Sociology can be used. I could knock out both PSYC 1301 and SOCI 1301 so that I would not have to take them at UT Austin.
If possible, another visual/performing arts course to fill in a free elective at UT Austin (I would then have both ARTS 1301 and MUSI 1306)? My degree at UT has multiple free elective slots.
Any advice from current and former CAP students (either from UTPB or other campuses) would be appreciated!
