Through an agreement with the University of North Carolina system, our students can earn up to 65 hours of course credit that will transfer to any public university in the state. Therefore, students will have the option to complete the AFA degree and transfer into a Bachelor of Fine Arts or Bachelor of Arts program. Coursework in the AFA program is aligned with the general education requirements of the state system. It is advised that all students in the program become familiar with the entrance and program requirements at the college or university they plan to transfer to before completing the AFA degree. Students should consult with their advisor to assure course equivalencies and track their academic progress.
