Freshman and sophomore level courses introduce students to areas of study that develop breadth of outlook and contribute to balanced development. This training is complementary to, but different in emphasis from, the specialized training one receives for a job, a profession, or a major in a particular field of study.
The curriculum includes courses in communications, humanities and fine arts, mathematics, science, social sciences, physical education, and elective courses in liberal arts. These courses in the University Transfer Program assist students to develop an understanding and appreciation of the political, social, economic and cultural institutions in our society; to develop the ability for critical and constructive thinking, for problem solving, and ordering of values; to maintain good mental and physical health for self, family, and community, and balanced personal and social adjustment; to use basic mechanical, mathematical, and communication skills to solve everyday problems, understand ideas of others, and express ideas effectively; to understand their cultural heritage; to understand the creative activities of others; and to encourage participation in creative activities.

CFNC Transfer Student Planner
The College Foundation of North Carolina provides a Transfer Student Planner to help students learn about and plan for opportunities for transfer between North Carolina’s colleges and universities.
Engineering Pathways is a joint project of the North Carolina Community College System and the University of North Carolina engineering programs to build and develop the pathways for students to begin engineering studies at a community college and then transfer as seamlessly as possible to one of the UNC engineering programs.

Barton College, in partnership with Nash Community College (NCC), offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing where students can transfer seamlessly to Barton College to complete their degree upon receiving an Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) degree.
Students who enter NCC after spring 2015 should follow the progression degree plan outlined by the Uniform Articulation Agreement between North Carolina Community Colleges and the constituent institutions of The University of North Carolina (February 2015). Barton College will honor the terms of the uniform articulation agreement by agreeing to follow the procedures governing transfer of ADN degree credits (A.3). Students who follow the progression degree plan for the Associate in General Education (AGE) -BSN (A10300BSN) at Nash Community College and earn the ADN will have fulfilled Barton College’s lower-division general education requirements as well as nursing program entry requirements. Students must complete blocks 1-4 of the uniform articulation agreement prior to transferring to Barton College (the AGE-BSN degree at Nash Community College meets the uniform articulation agreement blocks 1-4).
Failure to follow the RN-BSN progression degree plan at the community college will result in a course-by-course transfer of credit which will likely result in an increase in the time to degree completion.
NCC students who have previously received college credit and seek to finish a four-year degree, can easily transfer up to 75 credit hours to North Carolina Wesleyan University. Plus, NC Wesleyan offers automatic acceptance for Nash Community College graduates.
NC Wesleyan University, recognized as one of the most affordable private non-profit University in NC, offers competitive transfer scholarships and tuition breaks for qualified NCC students, as well as the 2+ Wesleyan Grant Program.
North Carolina Wesleyan University offers over 30 undergraduate programs for traditional day students and our Adult & Professional Studies program is comprised of accelerated certificate, bachelor and graduate degree programs allowing you to tailor your educational path to meet personal, career, and life goals.
