黑料正能量 and East Carolina University鈥檚 Department of Technology Systems made their transfer partnership official at a signing ceremony, guaranteeing admission to the university for WCC鈥檚 eligible graduates.
WCC and ECU signed bilateral agreements for 12 of the College鈥檚 programs that transfer to ECU鈥檚 Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology (BSIT) degree program.
WCC鈥檚 programs that are part of the transfer agreement are Automotive Systems Technology (GM-ASEP and ATEP), Aviation Systems Technology, Business Administration, Operations Management, Computer-Integrated Machining, Industrial Systems Technology, Cybersecurity, IT Support and Services, Software Development, Mechanical Engineering Technology, and Mechatronics Engineering Technology.
Once WCC students earn an Associate in Applied Science degree in any of these programs with at least a 2.0 grade point average, they may transfer up to 75 credit hours to ECU鈥檚 BSIT program.
鈥淢any of our graduates dream of attending ECU, considering it an institution of excellence that can advance them along their educational and career paths. This transfer program allows them to make that dream come true,鈥� said WCC President Patty Pfeiffer, who is an alumna of both WCC and ECU.
WCC鈥檚 programs require students to learn specific technical skills needed for careers in various industries. ECU鈥檚 BSIT degree program offers seven concentrations, allowing students to tailor their education to their interests.
鈥淭he BSIT program was intentionally designed to turn the Associate in Applied Science into a powerful springboard to something beyond a four-year degree for working adults and technical professionals,鈥� said Dr. Stephanie George, interim dean of ECU鈥檚 College of Engineering and Technology.
鈥淲e celebrate these agreements that create clear, affordable and achievable pathways for students, pathways that strengthen North Carolina鈥檚 workforce and support economic vitality across our state,鈥� George said. 鈥淎t the heart of this signing is student success, and that鈥檚 truly what鈥檚 at the heart of our college here at ECU, helping these talented individuals transfer seamlessly from their community college experience to bachelor鈥檚 degrees and beyond.鈥�
