Associate in Arts
Students wishing to complete a four-year bachelor’s degree from any of the 16 schools in the University of North Carolina system or from private schools in America have two transfer options.
The Associate in Arts and the Associate in Science degrees ensure students transfer as juniors with 65 hours of transferable credit, which includes the 44-hour general education core. These two degrees parallel the freshmen and sophomore years at a four-year university.
As a second option, students may complete the 44-hour general education (diploma) and transfer as sophomores. All courses in the degree programs and the 44-hour core are designed to give students a solid, well-rounded foundation in the arts and the sciences before going on to four-year institutions where they will take the remainder of their course work to complete their bachelor’s degree.
Students must earn a grade of C or better on all course work and have an overall GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale. Although the general education core and the degree programs meet the state’s general education requirements, students must meet the transfer institution’s physical education and foreign language requirements, which may vary from institution to institution.
