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.
-
2.5 and above GPA
-
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
-
College-level Biology, Chemsitry or Physics w/lab
An Associate in Arts (AA) degree maximizes transfer coursework for this major but additional math and science courses beyond the AA minimums are required to be competitive candidates for this program and to ensure efficient time to degree. Students considering graduate school in the sciences may choose to take MAT 271 instead of MAT 263. Consult an advisor and plan appropriately.
