Transfer Guide

Major-Specific Course Recommendations:

Students are encouraged to build the Community College course recommendations below into the associate degree to best prepare for the intended major.

Remaining Associate Degree Requirements:

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.

Additional Information From East Carolina University:

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.
• ECU does not have a transfer credit limit. However, keep in mind to earn a bachelor's degree at ECU, you must
  • complete 50% of your courses at a senior institution
    • approximately 60 semester hours
  • complete 25% of total credit hours needed for degree at ECU
    • approximately 30 semester hours
  • complete 50% of the total hours required in the major at ECU
    • approximately 30 semester hours
