Joint Engineering Programs with North Carolina State University

The University of North Carolina Asheville and North Carolina State University, College of Engineering, cooperate in the offering of several collaborative programs. The intent of these programs is to broaden the base of educational opportunities to students in Western North Carolina and to integrate the engineering sciences within a liberal arts environment.

Two-Plus-Two (2+2) Engineering Program

The 2+2 Engineering Program allows students interested in one of 13 different engineering fields to complete their first one or two years of study at UNC Asheville, and then transfer to NC State to complete their remaining requirements. Engineering courses offered at UNC Asheville are taught by NC State faculty. Students graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree from NC State in a specific field of engineering. Plans of study are available in the department’s website, https://engineering.unca.edu/.

Courses in Engineering offered through North Carolina State University

Courses offered at UNC Asheville under the E, ECE, MAE, or MSE prefixes are engineering courses from NC State provided to facilitate the Joint Mechatronics Engineering Program and the 2+2 Program. These courses are subject to the transfer policies of UNC Asheville for UNC Asheville degree-seeking students, except for those students enrolled in the Joint Degree Program. Some engineering courses are approved components of particular UNC Asheville curricula, but others are not necessarily accepted by UNC Asheville, unless approved beforehand by the appropriate UNC Asheville department chair or academic officer. UNC Asheville students are advised to consult the department chair of their major or the Registrar to ascertain the applicability of a given engineering course to a specific degree program. These courses require dual enrollment through NC State. Contact the joint NCSU/UNCA Engineering Programs Office to enroll.
