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.
IDEAs In Action General Education Requirements not covered by the North Carolina Comprehensive Articulation Agreement that could be completed at the Community College:
COM 231 (UNC COMM 113) can fulfill COMMBEYOND; COM 120 (UNC COMM 120), CHM 251 (UNC CHEM 261 + CHEM 262L) or CHM 252 (UNC CHEM 262 + CHEM 262L) can fulfill RESEARCH, and PED 110 (LFIT 998) can fulfill LIFE-FIT.
Advising and Community College Course Selection
For UGETC, Pre-Major, Elective, or GEC course options, please refer to the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement transfer course list.
Students should work with their community college academic advisor to ensure appropriate course selection for AA/AS degree completion.
Additional Resources
To find out how your N.C. community college coursework will transfer to UNC, please view the transfer credit list for your community college campus.
Program Notes:
At least four courses in the Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (but not in mathematics) are required for the B.S. degree in mathematics. It is recommended to select at least one course from the UGETC list that will transfer to satisfy a course for this requirement.
A complete list of requirements for the Mathematics major B.S. degree can be found in the UNC Chapel Hill Undergraduate Catalog. This degree requires a total of 122 credit hours.
University Notes:
In addition to the program requirements, students must
-
Earn a minimum final cumulative GPA of 2.000
-
Complete a minimum of 45 academic credit hours earned from UNC–Chapel Hill courses
-
Take at least half of their major core requirements (courses and credit hours) at UNC–Chapel Hill
-
Earn a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.000 in the major core requirements. Some programs may require higher standards for major or specific courses.
