Comparable Associate Degree Institutions
Latest Update: 12/11/2024
Transfer Students from out-of-state and private institutions of higher education who receive an Associate Degree from that institution will have the degree evaluated for the same General Education exemption on a case by case basis by the Office of the Registrar. The criteria used in the evaluation will be the amount of college-level English, math, natural science, social science, and humanities course work that is included in the degree’s curriculum. Curriculums that are more technical in nature or lack key features of the UNC Charlotte General Education core may not be approved for an exemption from lower division General Education requirements, but individual courses will be accepted towards the UNC Charlotte requirements.
Future students earning the degree from the institution listed will automatically receive a general education exemption. Note: Exclusion from the list below does not necessarily indicate the institutional associate degree is not comparable. It could mean that we have not yet reviewed.
