The Career and College Promise College Transfer Pathways provide students with course options that are Universal General Education Transfer Courses. This means each course will transfer directly to all 16 University of North Carolina institutions, and many of the state's private colleges. All Courses in the transfer pathways carry AP level weight as high school courses.
There are six transfer pathways:
- Associate of Arts CCP Pathway
- Associate of Engineering CCP Pathway
- Associate of Fine Arts CCP Pathway
- Associate of Science CCP Pathway
- Associate of Science in Teacher Prep CCP Pathway
- Associate of Arts in Teacher Prep CCP Pathway
The pathways are very similar and are composed entirely of transferable classes in English, Humanities, Social Science, Mathematics, and Natural Science. The Engineering pathway has additional courses beyond general education, tailored to the University Engineering program prerequisites. These courses provide the student with a solid, pre-major background. To see the course selections that are available under the transfer pathways, visit the links above for the Arts, Engineering, or Science pathway.
