Additional Information From UNC-Chapel Hill:

This is a suggested course plan. It is highly recommended that you meet regularly with your academic advisor to determine your course selection and progress toward graduation.

Students who transfer to UNC under the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) have all lower-level General Education requirements completed, but must complete these requirements through transfer or UNC coursework: Global Language, Research and Discovery, Lifetime Fitness, Communication Beyond Carolina, Campus Life Experience, and, where applicable, Supplemental General Education. Students who do not transfer in under the CAA should work closely with their advisor to determine which requirements apply to them for the IDEAs in Action General Education curriculum.

University Notes:

Supplemental General Education

Students who pursue a bachelor of arts degree must also satisfy a Supplemental General Education requirement. The intent of this requirement is to broaden a student’s perspective on the major by examining its relationship to work in at least one other field. Students may fulfill the requirement in three ways:

1. By completing a second major
2. By completing a minor
3. By completing three courses (nine hours) above 199 offered outside the home department or curriculum of the first major. These three courses can neither be used to fulfill the requirements of the first major nor be cross-listed with courses that a student has used to satisfy major requirements

In addition to the program requirements, students must

1. Earn a minimum final cumulative GPA of 2.000
2. Complete a minimum of 45 academic credit hours earned from UNC–Chapel Hill courses
3. Take at least half of their major core requirements (courses and credit hours) at UNC–Chapel Hill
4. Earn a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.000 in the major core requirements. Some programs may require higher standards for major or specific courses.

For more information, please consult the degree requirements section of the catalog.
