Mathematics and Statistics

Majors must have a minimum 2.0 GPA in all mathematical science and statistics courses required for the major and completed at UNCG.

Media Studies

Since admission to the Media Studies Major requires a probationary year at UNCG, transfer students will usually require a minimum of six semesters at UNCG to complete degree requirements. Community college transfers entering with associates degrees may not be able to enroll in a full-time schedule in the fall semester since MST 101 and 102 are offered only in the spring.

For admission, students must have a minimum overall GPA of 2.20. See Undergraduate Bulletin for details.

Physics

Majors must maintain a 2.0 GPA in all required physics and mathematics courses.

Theatre Department
Drama Majors (B.F.A.)/Theatre Education concentration

Majors must have an overall GPA of 3.0. Students planning to transfer to UNCG to pursue the BFA in Theatre Education are cautioned to take courses that meet GEC requirements while at the community college instead of taking courses in the major.

Drama Majors (B.F.A.)/Acting/Design & Technical Theatre/Technical Production concentrations

Transfer students should note that this program is concerned with the maturation and sequential training of the young artist/educator. Thus enrollment for six semesters (three years) is required even when study is begun in the junior year.

Additional Notes:

Students are required to complete intermediate-level proficiency in a foreign language, through the UNCG 204 level; therefore, most suggested curriculum plans encourage students to complete 2 years of foreign language courses. If a student begins with the Intermediate level of foreign language, he or she is encouraged to complete college transfer elective courses to fulfill the degree requirements for the Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree.

All elective courses must be chosen from college transferable courses.
