Transfer to University of Charleston

Major Code: 359

Note: The “2+2” term is used to refer to a transfer agreement through which a student completes an Associate degree at one institution and finishes a Bachelor degree at another institution. Due to individual student factors, part-time or full-time status, need for transitional education coursework, scheduling and availability of courses, or other factors, all students may not be able to complete these degrees in 2 (Associate) or 4 (Bachelor) years. The term “2+2” does not imply a guarantee that a student will be able to complete all course requirements in 4 years.

The term 2+2 articulation agreements contain very requirements that have been agreed upon and approved by the administration and faculty at both institutions. Because of this, petitions for course substitutions will not usually be considered or approved to allow a student to graduate under a 2+2 program.

Students are encouraged to contact a member of the Cyber Security faculty at the University of Charleston early in their program of study at WVNCC to obtain information and counseling concerning their Cyber Security transfer program. However, to be eligible to transfer, you must have a 60-hour Associate’s degree in Cyber Security with a minimum GPA of 2.0, in order to transfer into the University of Charleston’s Cyber Security program.
