Community College Transfers:
Community College students who graduate with an AA or AS degree in North Carolina will have already satisfied WCU's Liberal Studies requirement. Students who do not graduate from a community college but who have completed the 44-hour general education core will have also satisfied Western’s Liberal Studies requirement.
Western has 2+2 agreements with various community colleges in the region for different teacher education programs. For more information, please contact:
