*Notes

Please visit NC State's General Education Program (GEP) Requirements for more information.

Transfers to NC State as E 102 and counts as a GEP-Interdisciplinary Perspectives course.

  • Transfers to NC State as E 101.
  • UNI 102 taken in tandem with EGN 101 satisfies UNCW’s UNI 101 First Year Seminar course required for all first semester freshmen.
  • Students participating in a 1+3 program must earn 30 transferrable credit hours during their FR year along with C's or better in MAT 161, MAT 162, ENG 101, ENG 201, CHM/L 101 and PHY 201.
  • See NC State Catalog for list of approved Technical Electives and Engineering Science Electives and consult CBE advisor.
  • 2 additional credit hours of English composition are required to transfer to the COE from UNCW.
