College Transfer Programs
Associate in Arts, Associate in Fine Arts, and Associate in Science degree programs are designed for transfer to any of the 16 universities in the University of North Carolina System. These degrees also transfer to private colleges and other colleges and universities out of state. The Associate in General Education degree may transfer but is designed for students to plan their own course of study for a two-year degree of general education and special interest courses.
