Transfer Guide for Associate in Science

2024-2025

Delivery Method: On-Campus

Program Admission Notes:

To qualify for admission, applicants with at least 24 transferable hours must have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale from all post-secondary coursework.
 
This is a suggested guide. Following the guide does not guarantee admission to UNCG or guarantee an AS or BS degree will be conferred. Students should seek academic advising to determine the best course of study to meet educational goals and degree requirements. Refer to UNCG’s admissions website for more information on admission and transfer of credits. Credit will only be awarded for transferable courses for which a grade of C or better is earned. Refer to the NC Transfer Course List for full listing of courses by designation – UGETC, CAA GEN ED, Pre-Major/Elective.

Within the College of Arts and Sciences, students are required to demonstrate intermediate-level proficiency in an additional language. Students who transfer 60 or more credits to UNCG can satisfy thisrequirement by successfully completing a 102 course (equivalent of foreign language 112 at a NC Community College).

Major-Specific Course Recommendations:

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.

Additional Information From UNC Greensboro:

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science requires a minimum of 120 semester hours (sh). UNCG requires a minimum 2.0 overall GPA for graduation. Addtional elective courses may be required to complete the 120 credit hour requirement. The Computer Science department strongly urges students not to take more than three computer science courses per semester (especially those that are deemed programming intensive or project-based). Thus, the degree plan could extend beyond two years.
 
Students may chose to add a concentration in Data Science and Big Data, but it is not required for the BS in Computer Science.
