Program Admission Notes:
Transfer Admission Requirements
Students who have graduated from high school or obtained a GED or adult high school diploma and enrolled in another postsecondary institution are considered transfer students. UNCW uses a holistic approach to review transfer student applications and will consider several aspects of an application in making an admission decision.
To be competitive for transfer admission, applicants must:
-
Meet UNC system high school minimum course requirements (or be exempt by being 21 years of age or older or having completed 24 hours of transferable undergraduate credits)
-
Have completed or be enrolled in 24 hours of transferable undergraduate credit hours
Transfer applicants are also recommended to have:
-
A minimum 2.4 college GPA or higher
-
Have completed or enrolled in college-level English and/or math.
Note: Admission to the University does not guarantee admission to a specific academic program. Some academic programs may require an additional application and have requirements that exceed those listed above.

College Level Foreign Language Requirements:
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 Community College course recommendations below into the associate degree to best prepare for the intended major.
