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 Healthful Living and Fitness Education program is designed for students who want to enter K‑12 teaching or the health, wellness and fitness industries. Students must complete the core courses and then, choose from one of two concentrations: the K‑12 Teacher Licensure concentration or the Lifetime Fitness and Health concentration. The K‑12 Teacher Licensure concentration is accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP), and prepares students to teach, coach and assume leadership positions in K‑12 schools. The Lifetime Fitness and Health concentration prepares students for a career in the health and fitness industry. A Master of Education (MED) degree and a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) are also offered, in conjunction with the Watson College of Education.
