Associate in Arts

The College Transfer program leading to the Associate in Arts (P1012C) is designed for high school juniors and seniors who wish to begin study toward the Associate in Arts degree and/or intend to transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue a baccalaureate degree in a non-STEM major.

Students in this program are responsible for examining the requirements of the four-year college or university to which they plan to transfer for completion of their degree.

The Associate in Arts program concentrates heavily on the humanities and social sciences.  The course work in the program includes humanities, fine arts, social and behavioral sciences, mathematics, physical education, English, communications and the sciences.

This pathway is a structured set of courses included in the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) between the University of North Carolina and the North Carolina Community College System.  High School students are eligible to take the courses listed below, totaling 39 hours of available college credit with FTCC.

All credit earned in this pathway will directly transfer into the 60 credit hour Associate in Arts (A10100).

Students are able to enroll in one Career and Technical Education Pathway while enrolled in the College Transfer Pathway leading to the Associate in Arts.
