Recommended courses and GPA are major critical path courses or departmental recommendations and are not minimum requirements for transfer admissions.

  • 2.8 and above GPA
  • English Composition I & II equal to NC State’s ENG 101 (ENG 111 + 112= ENG 101 and ENG 1**)
  • College-level Calculus
  • General Chemistry with lab equal to NC State's CH 101/102
  • The most competitive applicants will have completed both chemistry and calculus; however, an applicant who has completed at least one of the two will still be considered.

*This major has industry-specific major and concentration requirements. All approved associate degree coursework will transfer as per the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) but will not apply to the majority of the major curricula.
