2. A
grade point average on the hours attempted of not less than 2.0
3. At least 36 semester hours of courses at the 300 course level or
above
4. At least 31 hours in residence at UNCG, 12 of which must be in
the major field and 9 of which must be in the minor if a minor is
sought
The College of Arts and Sciences and each of the six professional
schools Joseph M. Bryan School of Business and Economics; Education;
Health and Human Performance; Human Environmental Sciences; Music;
Nursing have structured their individual degree programs to comply
with this all-University degree framework.
Students who are undecided about their major are advised through the
College of Arts and Sciences Advising Center (CASA). CASA advisors
help these students determine the major program (in the College or
one of the professional schools) which is best suited for them while
they complete courses in the General Education Core.
See Programs of Study leading to the baccalaureate
degree.
Average Time to Graduation
Many factors affect both the length of time and the number
of credit hours an individual student will require to complete the
baccalaureate degree. At UNCG the median number of months to graduation
for full time students is 46. The median number of credit hours completed
is 125.
Full time undergraduate students are expected to complete at least
12 credit hours per semester. Failure to complete an average of 15
hours per semester may lengthen the student's time to graduation.
Some majors do require formal admission beyond that required for admission
to the University in general.
Students should meet with their academic advisors regularly to plan
their academic schedules. To graduate, students must complete specific
University requirements as well as requirements within the major.
Students who change majors may find that additional requirements must
be fulfilled. Changing majors excessively, or after the third or fourth
semester of study, may also lengthen the time to graduation. Also
see Tuition
Surcharge.
Criteria for admission to a specific major and continuation in that
major may include a University grade point average exceeding that
required for continuation within the University as a whole. Students
considering such majors should become familiar with the guidelines,
and work with an academic advisor as soon as possible to ensure that
they meet the criteria.
Changes in Degree Requirements and Other Regulations
The University reserves the right to make changes as required
in course offerings, curricula, academic policies and other rules
and regulations affecting students, to be effective whenever determined
by the University. These changes will govern current and formerly
enrolled students. Enrollment of all students is subject to these
conditions.
