I am currently a student at a community college, and I’m interested in transferring to NC State to pursue a degree in animal science. Do you have any information that would help me plan what courses I need to take?<\/h2><\/a>
\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit the Undergraduate Admissions website <\/a>for information on recommended courses, competitive GPA, degree and career paths, AP credits, and the transfer application process<\/a>. Another link you might find helpful is the transfer equivalency database.

My child is beginning high school, and I want them to have the best chances for admission to NC State. What are the right courses to take, and what test scores and GPAs are considered competitive?<\/h2><\/a>
\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the University of North Carolina System, NC State follows the same guidelines as the other 16 institutions in the system. Visit the UNC System website for minimum admissions requirements<\/a>. Another helpful resource is the CALS prospective student guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How can I schedule a visit to campus?<\/h2><\/a>
\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out the NC State Admissions website<\/a> for information on visiting campus. During the fall and spring, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences<\/a> offers multiple ways to visit campus. These “Spend a Day at State<\/a>” visits give a more in-depth look at our department, and opportunities to attend an informational session with a department faculty member, sit in on a class, have lunch with other students, and more. It\u2019s a great way to learn who we are and what we do.

I can\u2019t attend Spend A Day at State due to my school schedule, but I\u2019d like to take the walking tour and possibly meet with someone in the Department of Animal Science to ask questions. Would you be able to accommodate me?<\/h2><\/a>
\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We make every effort to accommodate prospective students. Please schedule the walking tour first, then call the undergraduate programs office at 919-515-3028 to coordinate a visit. Please give two to three days’ advance notice.
