Tell Me More
Guilford Technical Community College and North Carolina Agricultural and
Technical State University are now offering a joint program in civil and mechanical
engineering where you may be admitted to both educational institutions. This means
that you are both a student at GTCC and N.C. A&T. The first two years you will be
completing classes at GTCC with many of the same benefits as being a student at
A&T. However, you will be paying the community college tuition rate of $71.50
per credit hour. All of your classes at GTCC are guaranteed to transfer to A&T.
In addition, as a second-year student, you will be able to attend engineering
seminars and classes on the A&T campus.
When you begin your third year, you will begin taking classes at A&T in their civil
or mechanical engineering program.
