This program of study is designed for students who intend to pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree in one of the liberal arts disciplines for which a pre-major is not offered at GTCC. Students who are uncertain of their academic major should also enroll in this program. Students who complete this program of study will meet freshman and sophomore requirements at most public and private four year institutions in North Carolina. Graduates will be eligible for admission with junior class standing to a B.A. degree program at these institutions. Note: The grade of "D" in any course invalidates the transfer agreement.
In the second year of the program, there is an opportunity for students to select college transfer elective courses. Students are encouraged to select courses that would allow them to explore possible majors upon transferring. These electives should be chosen from the College Transfer Electives list.
The following pre-majors can be completed completely online following the General Studies curriculum: Business Education/Marketing Education, History, Social Science Secondary Education. You will need to work with an advisor to see which classes you would need in addition to the core courses identified below.
Pre-education majors can also use this program to complete their college core requirements. However, to transfer as an education major to a 4-year college university, students need to maintain a certain GPA and take the PRAXIS prior to transferring. Different colleges and universities have additional requirements, so students must make sure to work closely with their advisor.
