Art majors

All transfer students should make an appointment with the department’s Director of Transfer Advising for a transcript and portfolio review to approve studio art and art history transfer credit.

Biology majors

Must maintain a 2.0 GPA in all biology courses taken at UNCG.
Teacher licensure in biology requires a 2.50 in all biology courses taken at UNCG.
Credit for courses above the 100 level is transferred as biology elective credit only. To establish transfer credit for specific Biology courses above the 100 level, students should contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies. Transfer students are reminded that at least 12 credit hours in the major must be completed at UNCG.

Broadcasting & Cinema majors

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 BCN 101 and 102 are offered only in the spring.

Classical Studies majors

Must have a 2.0 or better GPA in all courses in the major. Students pursuing Secondary Subject Area Teacher Licensure in Latin must have a 2.50 overall GPA for admission to the Teachers Academy, and a minimum 3.0 in Latin courses.

Communication Studies majors

Must have grades of C- or better in all courses in the major.

English majors

Must have grades of C- or better in all courses in the major.
English teacher education and student teaching requires a minimum GPA of 2.75.

German majors

History majors

Must maintain a cumulative 2.0 GPA in all history courses to qualify for an undergraduate degree in history.

Liberal Studies/Humanities concentration (BLS)

The Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies, Humanities concentration, is an online degree completion program for adult students who have earned a minimum of 60 semester hours of transferable credit from accredited institutions.

Mathematics and Statistics majors

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

Physics majors

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

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

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. Six hours of foreign language may be used toward the GEC marker requirement of 12 hours of Global (GL) or Global Non-Western (GN) courses; 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.
