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.

Recommended NCCC Course	Credit Hours	University Equivalent	Associate Degree Requirement Fulfilled	University Requirement Fulfilled
Student Choice/No Preference (Approved Course Options)	3	University Equivalencies	UGETC Social/Behavioral Sciences	General Education
Student Choice/No Preference (Approved Course Options)	3	University Equivalencies	Additional General Education Courses	General Education, Elective
ACA 122: Transfer & Career Success	1	TR ***: Elective	Academic Transition	Elective

Major will require 3 years at NC State. Students who need to maintain full-time status may wish to consider an additional major or minor. Please consult your advisor. For more information please visit the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering program website. 

Remaining Courses to be Taken at NC State are based on CAA eligibility and completion of all required and suggested courses in this transfer guide. Remaining courses, hours and time to degree may vary for each student. Unless otherwise noted, all courses are required major courses and will not be part of the General Education fulfillment awarded by associate degree transfer and CAA eligibility.

Students may utilize the NC State Transfer Planner in conjunction with this Transfer Guide to see how their transfer coursework fulfills major requirements. Please note that the Transfer Planner does not reflect CAA eligibility or GEP fulfillment.
