University Studies requires a student to obtain proficiency through the 201-level (equivalent to foreign language 211 at NCCCs) in a language previously studied or the 102-level (equivalent to foreign language 112 at NCCCs) in a second foreign language not previously studied. Students will demonstrate proficiency by completing a course at the 201 level or higher in a language previously studied or at the 102-level in a second foreign language. If you graduated high school 7 or more years before you enrolled at UNCW, an exception applies to you. Then you only need to complete a language course at the 102 level (or higher)
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.

The B.A. in Digital Arts is designed to prepare students to work in computer-art and design-related fields such as mobile-application and web design, game development, visual effects, film, interactive media and other emerging opportunities at the cross-section of computer technology and the arts.
Students will also acquire the background needed to pursue research at the graduate level in areas such as graphics, virtual reality, simulation and human-computer interaction.
There are two concentrations for the major:
Mobile Application and Web Development
Focuses on software development for mobile devices and web applications for both server-side or client-side processing, user interface design issues of contexts, screen, input and functionality.
Interactive Graphics
Explores designing interactive user experiences and 3D graphics for applications such as virtual/augmented reality, 3D animation, games, movie animation, data visualization and digital art.
A grade point average of ‘C’ (2.0) or better computed over all the courses used to fill the requirements of the major are required.
Transfer students should prioritze completing equivalents for ART 101 (NCCC ART 121) and MAT 160 (NCCC MAT 175) prior to transferring.
