majors in two separate disciplines on the condition that the student meets all
requirements for each major. The student who completes requirements for more
than one major will receive only one degree, but at the time of initial
graduation, the record will indicate both majors.
REQUIREMENTS FOR A SECOND BACCALAUREATE DEGREE
A student with a bachelor’s
degree may receive a second baccalaureate degree if it is a different degree
and a different major by fulfilling the following requirements:
(1)The student must meet all the requirements for the second degree and major.
(2)The student must complete a minimum of 30 hours in residence beyond the requirement for the first degree.
(3) The student must meet with the major department chair to determine an individual education plan. This plan must be forwarded to the Registrar.
A student without a bachelor’s
degree may receive two different baccalaureate degrees by fulfilling the
following requirements:
(1) The student must meet all the requirements for one degree (primary major).
(2) The student must complete a minimum of 30 unduplicated hours in a different major and a different degree (secondary major).
(3) The student must meet with both major department chairs to determine an individual education plan. This plan must be forwarded to the Registrar.
NOTE: Students may be assessed a 25% tuition surcharge once they have attempted 140 degree credit hours.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS AND INTERDISCIPLINARY PROGRAMS
Students earning a
baccalaureate degree may take advantage of one or more special programs.

ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL CONCENTRATIONS
In addition to majors and
minors, a number of departments offer academic or professional concentrations.
Any concentration requires at least 18 semester hours, depending on
departmental requirements. A student must have a minimum cumulative QPA of 2.0
in academic and professional concentration courses to receive credit for the
concentration. Teacher Education majors
subject to The University of North Carolina requirement for completion of a
concentration in a basic academic discipline may select one of these academic
or professional concentrations to fulfill that requirement or may choose to
earn a second major of 30 hours in Philosophy and Religion. Any student may elect
to complete an academic or professional concentration in addition to a major.
Students considering academic or professional concentrations should consult the
appropriate academic department in the

FRESHMAN SEMINAR
Coordinator: Amanda M. Gengler
A university education
requires attitudes and skills that go far beyond what students have needed
previously. One of its most distinctive features is its direct confrontation
with the limitations of human knowledge. In high school we relied on teachers
and textbook writers to decide difficult issues; at the University we move into
a domain where experts routinely disagree and many issues have no simple
answers. Out of this experience, we learn a new respect for skepticism, open‑mindedness,
and our own creativity.
The University also introduces
us to much greater personal freedom and independence. We move away from the
security of our families into the world of college life. This change forces us
to budget our own time and to sustain our own motivation for achievement.
Finally, the content of a
university curriculum is more difficult to comprehend and retain than anything
we have faced before. We read technical, specialized material and learn words
we have never seen. We are asked to identify key ideas on our own and to review
for comprehensive examinations.
All of these considerations
suggest that new students should receive special instruction preparing them for
the unique challenges of university life. Accordingly, The University of North
Carolina at Pembroke has developed a course entitled Freshman Seminar (FRS
100). This course is a regular academic endeavor, with lectures, examinations,
and academic credit. Its content is summarized in the description presented
below. Students are encouraged to participate actively in this course and to
prepare carefully for its examinations. Such effort may prove more valuable
than any other activity undertaken during one’s first months at the University.
A grade of “C” (2.0) or better
must be earned in order to satisfy the Freshman Seminar requirement.
COURSE (FRS)
FRS 100. Freshman Seminar
General introduction to the academic substance, study methods, and special adjustment problems of university life. Conducted by faculty and staff from various departments. Required of all incoming freshmen during their first fifteen credit hours of course work at the University. Fall, Spring. Credit, 1 semester hour.

The College Opportunity
Program is designed to admit a limited number of students who meet most, but
not all, of The University of North Carolina at Pembroke’s regular admission
standards. Students are selected on the basis of high school academic record,
scholastic standing in the high school graduating class, and SAT or ACT scores.
The application for admission should be filed as early as possible.
Students enter the College Opportunity Program
in the summer for a five‑week session, which includes freshman testing
and courses designed to develop academic skills which will be necessary for the
Fall Semester. Students who
successfully complete these summer courses are then eligible to continue in the
Fall Semester. In the Fall and Spring Semesters, the
student is allowed to register for 15 hours of academic courses. In addition,
students meet regularly with the COP advisor for academic counseling. Students who meet the University’s academic
eligibility requirements and have successfully completed the College
Opportunity Program (made a “C” or better in both ENG 105 and ENG 106) then
continue at the University as other regularly admitted students.

PREPROFESSIONAL CURRICULA IN MEDICINE
Although a B.S. degree is
technically not a prerequisite for these programs, the large majority of
students who apply and are accepted do hold an undergraduate degree. It is
therefore recommended that students interested in these areas pursue a B.S.
degree. The Departments of Biology and Chemistry and Physics offer B.S.
programs with biomedical emphasis that enable a student to meet requirements
for most professional schools. These programs are detailed in the program
descriptions of the Departments of Biology and Chemistry and Physics.
ACCELERATED PROGRAM IN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
UNCP offers a program to its
biology and chemistry majors in affiliation with hospitals approved by the
Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association which gives,
by the board of registry of Medical Technologists, a medical technology
certificate. In this program the students complete six semesters of on‑campus
study and one year of study and training in an affiliated hospital. After
satisfactory completion of the fourth year (hospital training), UNCP will award
the B.S. degree in biology or chemistry to the students. Undergraduate students
enrolled in the fourth year of the accelerated program in medical technology
must pay tuition to both UNCP (not including fees) and to the affiliated
hospital. Details of the medical technology programs appear in the program
descriptions of the Departments of Biology and Chemistry and Physics.
Currently, the Biology
Department and the Chemistry and Physics Department have formal affiliations
with
It should be noted that this
is an accelerated program which allows the student to complete in four years a
program that often requires five years. Students may elect the alternate route
in which a B.S. degree in biology or chemistry (biomedical emphasis) is obtained
before application to a hospital program. Students electing this route are
eligible to apply to any school of medical technology and are not limited to
programs affiliated with The University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
