UNCW uses a holistic approach to review transfer student applications and will consider several aspects of an application in making an admission decision.

Transfer applicants are also recommended to have:

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.
