The College Transfer Program provides opportunities for students to complete coursework that will transfer as baccalaureate credit to four-year colleges and universities.  By completing courses in the Arts and Sciences, students can earn Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, or Associate in Fine Arts degrees.  These degrees are designed to prepare students to continue their education as juniors in their field of study.

The College Transfer Program is offered as part of the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) which governs the transfer of credit between community colleges and most 4-year colleges and universities in North Carolina.  The courses in the College Transfer Program include a 44 hour semester General Education Core and 20-21 additional semester hours.  North Carolina community college students who earn an associate&rsquos degree according to the guidelines of the CAA will be treated as juniors at any of the UNC institutions providing that they are admitted to the institution.  The CAA does not guarantee admission to any UNC institution or any degree program within an institution. Admission to any university or college is competitive.
