Purpose and Rationale. This document presents a uniform, statewide, academic progression agreement that will promote educational advancement opportunities for Associate in Fine Arts in Theatre graduates moving between North Carolina community colleges and the UNC constituent institutions in order to complete Bachelor of Arts degrees. It describes a progression degree plan that includes required general education and prerequisite courses that are acceptable to all state-funded Bachelor of Arts in Theatre programs. AFA in Theatre graduates will meet entrance requirements at all of the UNC institutions and will meet entrance requirements for application directly to the Bachelor of Arts programs. AFA in Theatre graduates must meet submission requirements and associated timelines as required by each BA program. This agreement does not constitute a guarantee that students graduating with an AFA in Theater will gain acceptance into any UNC BA program. Each student must follow the admissions process, and meet stated requirements, of the specific receiving four-year institution. This proposal supports the mission of the North Carolina State Board of Community Colleges and the UNC Higher Expectations strategic plan’s stated goals of “Access, Affordability, and Efficiency” and “Economic and Community Engagement.” It moves these objectives forward by creating a more seamless and rational transfer process for community college Associate in Fine Arts in Theatre students.
