Future Students

Students may transfer into the Engineering Technology and Construction Management programs at UNC Charlotte in the following ways:

Enroll as a Transfer without an AAS degree from a North Carolina Community College

Students may transfer to a Bachelor Science in Engineering Technology (BSET) or Bachelor of Science in Construction Management (BSCM) program with either an Associate of Science or an Associate of Engineering degree. All transfer admissions requirements for the BSET or BSCM programs are located in each program’s respective catalog.

Transfer guides for students pursuing AS or AE degrees can be found here. 

Enroll as a Transfer with a degree from a out of state institution

Students may also transfer to the department without a North Carolina community college degree, however all courses will need to be evaluated on a one for one evaluation. Content may not cover the same scope as the department’s courses, therefore some earned transfer credit may not be awarded for major specific credit. Any credit that does not meet a major specific requirement will still be considered in the overall credit hour count of 120 credit hours as required by the university.

Transfer Student Program Evaluation and Advisement

Each transfer student who enters the program comes in with a unique set of completed coursework. Consequently, each student who enters the program is beset by a different set of constraints. In order to provide transfer students with a smooth transfer and matriculation experience, a personal and unique program of study is prepared for each entering student. A comparison between the student’s completed coursework and the anticipated Baccalaureate program is made, and a list of courses required for degree completion is generated. As each program of study is prepared, the following list of constraints must be addressed:

• The transfer requirements
• The upper-division program requirements presented in the University catalog for the semester of admission.
• University General Education requirements in effect at time of enrollment.
• Program requirements necessary to maintain accreditation by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET (ETAC/ABET) and/or the Applied Natural Sciences Accreditation Commission of ABET (ANSAC/ABET).
• The 120-semester hour limitation stipulated by the UNC system administration.

Enroll as a Transfer Student with an AAS degree from a North Carolina Community College

Some of the programs offered by the Department of Engineering Technology & Construction Management allow students to be coded as a 2+2 student. That is, students may complete the first two years of the program by completing an approved AAS degree in a related field at a North Carolina community college. Upon completion of the AAS, a student then matriculates to UNC Charlotte to complete their Junior and Senior years of study as long as all of their lower division courses are completed. See detailed description below.

AAS Transfer Program Structure

All transfer students with an approved AAS degree are given a maximum of 64 semester hours of transfer credit towards the BSET or BSCM degree when proof of completion/awarding of the  AAS degree is presented. In addition to a completed AAS degree, students must satisfy a set of defined pre-requisite subjects in their program. Any missing pre-requisites are considered entrance deficiencies and must be remediated within the timeframe stated in the catalog of entry and the student is responsible for correcting any entrance deficiencies by taking appropriate coursework at either UNC Charlotte or a community college through the Transient Study process. Common deficiencies are in the areas of math and physics. Courses taken at UNC Charlotte to remediate deficiencies cannot be used towards the upper-division credit requirements of the program.

If interested in the 2+2 program, please contact the appopriate Advisor or Program Director one semester prior to submitting your application to the program for an informal evaluation of your credits.​
