All baccalaureate degrees must include courses in Domestic Diversity (1 DD course), Global Diversity (1 GD course), and Writing Intensive (4 WI courses).
Completion of an AA or AS waives the General Education requirements at ECU with the exception of
-
the Writing Intensive requirement
-
Domestic and Global Diversity requirements
-
Health-Promotion and Health-Related Physical Activity requirements
-
any foreign language requirement
-
any Cognate, prerequisite, or major specific course requirement
Notes:
-
ENG 111 and 112 satisfy 2 of the 4 WI courses;
-
The Writing Across the Curriculum committee does not recommend taking more than 2 WI courses before transferring, so you don't need worry about the rest of the requirement until at ECU.
-
HIS 111, 112, 131, & 132 taken at a NCCCS after Fall 2018 count as humanities credits at ECU.
-
