Relating to requiring a public institution of higher education to award certain course credit for a dual credit course in computer science.
HB 5062 requires public Texas colleges and universities to award undergraduate course credit toward a foreign language requirement for students who successfully complete dual credit computer science courses. This applies to students not majoring in a foreign language, beginning with the 2025-2026 academic year. The bill text contains an apparent inconsistency, as it references "foreign language course credit" for computer science courses, though the bill's title and purpose relate to computer science credit. The bill was withdrawn from consideration on May 6, 2025.
