2015-2016 CATALOGUE
B. S. Environmental Science (EVS) / Environmental Engineering (ECE) 3+2 Program
College: Arts & Sciences
Course requirements for all UNCW degrees include: (1) University Studies, (2) specific major requirements, and (3)
sufficient elective hours for a combined total of a minimum of 124 hours.
MAJOR REQUIREMENTS – EVS (Minimum 74 hours, while at UNCW)
The Three-Plus-Two Environmental Science and Environmental Engineering Program is a cooperative agreement between the
University of North Carolina Wilmington Department of Environmental Studies and the North Carolina State University
Environmental Engineering Program. The program gives students the opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in
environmental science from the University of North Carolina Wilmington and a Bachelor of Science degree in environmental
engineering from North Carolina State University. Students will complete courses listed below to meet the requirements at
UNCW. This course of study can be completed in three years. If the student meets the transfer admission requirement for
NCSU listed below, the student is accepted into the Environmental Engineering Program. This program can be completed in
two years. UNCW has agreed to accept credits from NCSU to complete the degree requirement at UNCW and NCSU has
agreed to accept credits from UNCW to complete degree requirements at NCSU. Thus, the student receives a degree from
UNCW and a degree from NCSU. The Three-Plus-Two program must be started in the fall of the freshman year if it is to be
completed in 5 years.

Department of Environmental Studies and the director of the Engineering Program at UNCW to assure completion of the
correct requirements for both programs.
A grade of “C-” or better is required in each computer science course and a “C” (2.00) average on all courses taken in
computer science.
*These courses require a lab
+May also be used to satisfy University Studies Foundations & Approaches and Perspectives requirements
