The College Transfer Program offers courses in the arts and sciences leading to the Associate in Arts Degree (A.A.) or the Associate in Science Degree (A.S.) These courses parallel those required during the first two years of study at four-year colleges and universities.
The College Transfer courses that are offered may transfer to any college or university that offers equivalent courses. Prior to enrollment at Wilson Community College, students are encouraged to talk with the counselors and admissions officers at both Wilson Community College and the senior college to which the transfer is intended.
The College has a complete two-year schedule of core courses available for day and evening students, which will vary based on each student's major and four-year school. The curriculum offered is described below.
The College has also identified the following program goals:
The College Transfer A.A. Degree curriculum is designed for students pursuing liberal arts. Students must take a core of required liberal arts courses in English, fine arts and humanities, mathematics, natural science, social science, health, and physical education. In addition to the core, students must take additional courses based on their specialized interests and electives for a total of 65 semester hours credit.
