AAS Transfer Program Structure |
| All transfer
students with an approved AAS degree are given 64 semester hours of
transfer credit when proof of the A.A.S. degree is presented. Transfer
deficiencies, if applicable, are identified courses which are required
for entrance into the program. Common deficiencies are in the areas of
math, physics and computer programming. Students are allowed to enter
the program with as many as three course deficiencies. However, the
student is responsible for correcting these deficiencies by taking the
appropriate coursework at either UNC Charlotte or at a community or
technical college. Courses taken at UNC Charlotte to remediate
deficiencies cannot be used towards the upper-division credit
requirements of the program.
Table 1 is a list of courses required
for entrance into the Engineering Technology programs at UNC Charlotte.
Required transfer credits are listed in both quarter hours and semester
hours.
