Transfer Guide

Students are encouraged to build the North Carolina Community College (NCCC) course recommendations below into the associate degree to best prepare for the intended university and major.

In addition to major-specific course recommendations above, students should work with a community college advisor to select additional community college courses to fulfill the remaining associate degree requirements identified below.

General Education waiver information, for students completing an AA, AS, AATP, or ASTP, can be found on our Transfer Hub.

ECU does not have a transfer credit limit.

• A minimum of 25 percent of the credit hours required for the degree and at least 50 percent of the total hours required in the major must be completed through enrollment in East Carolina University.
