Students with Existing Degrees
For students who already possess an undergraduate degree from an accredited college or university that is not part of the UNC system, the Director of University Studies (or her/his designee), after consultation with the chair(s) of the academic unit(s) through which the student is pursuing the second degree, will determine the extent to which the previous course work meets the spirit of UNCW’s current University Studies requirements and will determine any remaining requirements to be completed.
Students who are transferring to UNCW for a second baccalaureate after having earned a baccalaureate at any UNC system institution will be given a waiver for all University Studies requirements in the Core Curriculum, as well as three credits each in the Writing Intensive and the Information Literacy competencies.
