University Transfer Degrees
The University Transfer Programs are specifically designed for students whose goal is a baccalaureate degree. The Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degree programs enable students to complete the first two years of college or university work in an affordable, flexible, close-to-home environment conducive to success. University transfer courses are designed to be accepted at South Carolina public four-year colleges and universities. Some private institutions and out-of-state colleges and universities also accept course work.
With the assistance of an academic advisor at Central Carolina Technical College, students should plan their academic programs to meet the requirements of the college or university to which they desire to transfer. It is strongly recommended that students consult the college/university to which they plan to transfer to ensure that courses taken at Central Carolina Technical College meet the senior institution’s requirements for the desired four-year degree.
Students must earn a minimum course grade of “C” in each transfer course in order for it to transfer, unless otherwise specified by the receiving institution.
Students who relocate may request the degree completion option by making application for a “Home Contract.” Criteria for approval include the completion of 25 percent of required curriculum courses in residency from Central Carolina Technical College. A one-year completion rate will be imposed. Students should see their advisor who will collaborate with the Registrar.
The Associate in Science Degree can be obtained completely ONLINE through selection of appropriate classes.
The Associate in Science (A.S.) Degree program emphasizes mathematics and natural and physical sciences and is designed for students who wish to enter fields related to mathematics or sciences. Areas of emphasis include secondary education, and/or professional areas of health, medicine, engineering, business, and computer science.
Requirements for specific majors at senior institutions may vary. Therefore, it is the responsibility of students to plan a program of study to meet the requirements of the college to which they expect to transfer. It is strongly recommended students consult the college/university to which they plan to transfer to ensure that courses taken at Central Carolina Technical College meet the senior institution’s requirements for the desired four-year degree. Informed academic advisors are available to assist students.
The length of time required to complete a University Transfer Program is dependent upon the number of courses in which the student enrolls each semester. See Statewide Articulation Agreement: Technical College Courses Transferrable to Public Senior Institutions in the General Information section of this catalog.

Developmental Courses
This program of study requires that all developmental courses be completed prior to graduation. These developmental courses may or may not be prerequisites to courses required in the program. Developmental courses are determined by placement tests taken at the time of admission into the College. The developmental courses are MAT 013 and RWR 032 . These courses do not count for credit in any program of study.
