GUILFORD TECHNICALCOMMUNITY COLLEGE
2015-2016 CALENDAR

	 	 	 	 	 	 Guilford Technical Community College | 1
Congratulations on choosing Guilford Technical Community College (GTCC) as the college where you will continue your path to
academic and career success!
Whether your goal is to earn a technical certificate or degree and immediately enter the workplace or earn a two-year degree before
transferring to a four-year university, the faculty and staff of GTCC are here to support you in your journey.
This catalog serves to 1) outline an academic pathway for current and future GTCC students, 2) reaffirm our commitment to your
academic and professional success, and 3) help you make informed decisions about your education and your future.
Since 1958, GTCC has provided accessible, affordable, and quality programs and services to our community. In the words of Dallas
Herring, the founder of the North Carolina Community College System, it is our goal to
“…take the people where they are and carry them as far as they can go…. If they cannot read, then we will simply teach them to
read and make them proud of their achievement. If they did not finish high school but have a mind to do it, then we will offer them
a high school education at a time and in a place convenient to them and at a price within their reach. If their talent is technical or
vocational, then we will simply offer them instruction, whatever the field, however complex or however simple, that will provide
them with the knowledge and the skill they can sell in the marketplaces of our State, and thereby contribute to its scientific and
industrial growth. If their needs are in the great tradition of liberal education, then we will simply provide them the instruction,
extending through two years of standard college work, which will enable them to go to the University or to senior college and on
into life in numbers unheard of before in North Carolina. If their needs are for cultural advancement, intellectual growth or civic
understanding, then we will simply make available to them the wisdom of the ages and the enlightenment of our times and help
them to maturity.”
We are here to nurture your growth and to help you succeed in whatever you want to do. Again, welcome to GTCC!
Randy Parker
President, GTCC

College Transfer
Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Fine Arts - Drama Concentration
GTCC offers college transfer through the Associate in Arts (AA), Associate in Science (AS) and Associate in Fine Arts (AFA) degree programs. The Associate
in Arts (AA) degree is designed for students who want to pursue a four-year degree in one of the liberal arts disciplines or training at a professional school
that requires a strong liberal arts background. The Associate in Science (AS) degree is designed for students who want to pursue a four-year degree in
areas of study such as computer science, engineering, mathematics, the sciences, or professional programs that require strong mathematics and science
backgrounds. The Associate in Fine Arts (AFA) degree is designed for students who want to pursue a four-year degree in drama.
The Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) addresses the transfer of students between institutions in the North Carolina Community College System
and the constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina. The Associate in Arts (AA) and the Associate of Science (AS) degrees shall be granted for
a planned program of study consisting of a minimum of 60 semester hours of credit (SHC) of college transfer courses. Courses are approved for transfer
through the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA). All Universal General Education Transfer Component (UGETC) courses will transfer for general
education equivalency credit. The CAA enables North Carolina community college graduates of two-year associate in arts or associate in science programs
who are admitted to constituent institutions of The University of North Carolina to transfer with junior status. Community college graduates must obtain a
grade of “C” or better in each course and an overall GPA of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale in order to transfer with a junior status. Courses may also transfer
through bilateral agreements between institutions. Refer to the Transfer Programs for specific transfer degree requirements. For more information about
CAA, please visit http://tinyurl.com/nomgoz2.
The Independent Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (ICAA) between signatory institutions of the North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities
(NCICU) and the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS) is intended to provide smooth transfer for community college students who wish
to continue their education at an NCICU institution which has signed the agreement. Information about the Independent Comprehensive Articulation
Agreement can be located at http://www.ncicu.org/who_quick.html
Career-Technical (not intended for college transfer)
Associate in Applied Science, Associate in General Education, Diploma, Certificate
Associate in Applied Science
Associate in Applied Science (AAS) programs are designed to provide entry-level employment training. AAS programs range from 64 to 76 semester
hour credits. A full-time student can typically complete one of these programs within two years. In addition to major course work, Associate in Applied
Science degree programs require a minimum of 15 semester hour credits of general education. General education requirements include course work in
communications, humanities/fine arts, social/behavioral sciences and natural sciences/mathematics. Certain courses in Associate in Applied Science degree
programs may be accepted by a four-year college or university for transfer credit in an associated field.
Associate in General Education
The Associate in General Education (AGE) program is designed for individuals wishing to broaden their education, with emphasis on personal interest,
growth, and development. The two-year AGE program provides students opportunities to study English, literature, fine arts, philosophy, social science,
science and mathematics at the college level. All courses in the program are college-level courses. Many of the courses are equivalent to college transfer
courses; however, the program is not principally designed for college transfer. Successful completion of 64-65 semester hour credits leads to an associate
in general education degree.

The Associate in Engineering (AE) degree is designed for students who want to pursue a four-year degree in the area of engineering. The degree plan includes required general education and pre­requisite courses that are acceptable to all state funded Bachelor of Engineering programs. Students who follow the degree pro­gression plan will meet the entrance requirements at all of the North Carolina public Bachelor of Science Engineering programs. Associate in Engineering graduates may then apply to any of these programs without taking additional and sometimes duplicative courses. Admission to Engineering programs is highly competitive and admission is not guaranteed. To be eligible for the transfer of credits under the AE to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Articulation Agreement, community college graduates must obtain a grade of “C” or better in each course and an overall GPA of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale.
Upon successful completion of this degree, graduates will be able to:
•
Apply strategies to acquire new information (concepts and perspectives) in a variety of academic disciplines
•
Analyze academic, workplace, and societal issues presented in a variety of academic disciplines using discipline-specific concepts and underlying perspectives
•
Use critical thinking (reason and creativity in problem-solving and decision-making) in a variety of academic disciplines
•
Demonstrate use of technology appropriate to a variety of academic disciplines
