*Notes

Indicated courses will be taken through NC State's Distance Education Program.

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.
  • May not be offered in the summer, but many ECE courses have summer offerings.
  • See NC State Catalog for list of approved Technical Electives and Engineering Science Electives and consult ECE advisor.
  • 2 additional credit hours of English composition are required to transfer to the COE from UNCW.
