UNCW Pre-Engineering Transfer Program
NCSU Humanities/Social Science Requirements

North Carolina State University has general education requirements similar to the Basic Studies Requirement at UNC Wilmington. These requirements are specified in their undergraduate catalog. Requirements in physical education, english, math, and science are met through courses that are part of the engineering curriculums. Other requirements are met through selection of appropriate humanities and social science electives listed in the table below and effective starting Fall 2008. All course number are UNCW course numbers.  Foreign language proficiency is addressed following the table. 

These requirements can be met at either UNCW or NCSU. They are not required for transfer.
