For those articulation agreements specifying transfer of lower division general education requirements, lower division general education components of University Studies include:

• Scientific Approaches to the Natural World

Under the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement, AS and AA degree-holding transfer students will be held to all other University Studies requirements, including the Lifetime Wellness and World Languages and Cultures.

There are also more specific articulation agreements (e.g., Bilateral Articulation Agreement) between some NCCCs and UNCW, and some agreements are specific to programs within a community college. 

For students who already possess an undergraduate degree from an accredited college or university, including UNCW, the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education and Faculty Affairs (or their designee), after consultation with the chair(s) of the academic unit(s) through which the student is pursuing the second degree, will determine the extent to which the previous course work meets the spirit of UNCW’s current University Studies requirements and will determine any remaining requirements to be completed.

Students who are transferring to UNCW for a second baccalaureate after having earned a baccalaureate at any UNC institution with a general education requirement will be given a waiver for the following University Studies requirements:

• First Year Seminar, Composition
• Lifetime Wellness
• Mathematics and Statistics
• Aesthetic, Interpretive, & Literary Perspectives
• Historical and Philosophical Approaches
• Scientific Approaches to the Natural World
• Understanding Human Institutions and Behaviors

For the foreign language requirement, all students should first consult with the College of Humanities, Social Sciences, and the Arts Dean.
