Sandhills Community College - University Studies Program

University Studies Program

Sandhills Community College was the first comprehensive community college in North Carolina to offer a college transfer degree. Students are prepared for transfer to four-year colleges and universities through the University Studies Program.

The University Studies Program is designed for students to earn the Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, or Associate in Fine Arts degree and then continue their education as juniors at a university. Students who complete the Associate in Arts or Associate in Science Core Diploma before transferring to the UNC System will have satisfied the general education requirements of the transfer institution. Sandhills also offers Associate in Applied Science degrees that will transfer into university-designated baccalaureate degree programs. On the Sandhills campus, students can also earn selected B.A., B.S., and M.A. degrees from two universities.

All instructors in the Sandhills University Studies Program hold at least a Master’s Degree.

Famous quotes containing the words university, studies and/or program:

    Fowls in the frith,
    Fishes in the flood,
    And I must wax wod:
    Much sorrow I walk with
    For best of bone and blood.

    His life itself passes deeper in nature than the studies of the naturalist penetrate; himself a subject for the naturalist. The latter raises the moss and bark gently with his knife in search of insects; the former lays open logs to their core with his axe, and moss and bark fly far and wide. He gets his living by barking trees. Such a man has some right to fish, and I love to see nature carried out in him.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    When I saw it I was so glad I could not speak. My eyes seemed too little to see it all.... I was a long time without speaking to my friend. To see me always looking and never speaking he thought I had lost my mind. I could not understand where all this could come from.
    —For the State of Maine, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
