Concentration(s): Technology
Delivery Method: On-Campus

Program Admission Notes:

NC State Undergraduate Admissions employs a holistic approach in reviewing transfer students’ applications and considers a range of accomplishments and qualifications. Recommended courses and GPA are major critical path courses or departmental recommendations and are not minimum requirements for transfer admissions.

  • Minimum 2.5 GPA  (3.0 or above preferred)
  • English Composition I & II equal to NC State’s ENG 101 (ENG 111 + 112= ENG 101 and ENG 1**)
  • College-level PreCalculus or higher Math
  • 1 semester of General Biology or General Chemistry with a lab (preference is given to students with both courses)

Students intending to pursue a graduate degree in a STEM field may wish to take MAT 271 to meet the Calculus requirement for this major and should plan their associate degree accordingly.
