Cape Fear Community College Transfer to UNCW

Does Cape Fear Community College have a transfer agreement with UNCW? I'm planning to start at Cape Fear and want to ensure a smooth transition. Any tips on which courses would be beneficial to take first?

Yes, Cape Fear Community College (CFCC) and the University of North Carolina, Wilmington (UNCW) do have a partnership agreement in place called the PathWays Program. This program is designed to provide a seamless transition for students who want to transfer from CFCC to UNCW and earn a four-year degree.

Under this program, there are certain set courses that you will need to complete at CFCC. After you successfully meet the requirements of these course sequences, credits will be transferred to UNCW. This helps students avoid taking unnecessary courses, saving both time and money.

If you join this program, you will be assigned an academic advisor at both CFCC and UNCW to help guide you through the process, answer any questions you might have, and make sure that your course selections are appropriate and will indeed be transferable.

As for which courses to take first, this will largely depend on your intended major at UNCW. Working with your academic advisors at both institutions will ensure that you are taking the right courses for your intended major and educational goals. Frequently, your initial courses will be part of the general education requirements, including things such as English, math, science, social science, etc. Ultimately though, it's important that you consult with advisors to get accurate, tailored advice.

If you have not yet done so, you may want to connect with the admissions offices at both schools to confirm that you understand all requirements and deadlines, as entry into the PathWays Program may require additional forms or steps beyond simply being enrolled at CFCC. Good luck!
