At certain UNC institutions, EDU 216 may fulfill major requirements; at a majority of institutions, the course will transfer only as a free elective. Students should check with the university for the local transfer policy regarding EDU 216.
Recommended:
For electives, pre-education students in Elementary Education should select courses that will help meet a corollary studies area. These courses should be selected in conjunction with the requirements at each university, since available corollary studies may not be offered on each university campus. Corollary Studies comprise a minimum of 18 hours of community college or UNC-campus coursework in a choice of four interdisciplinary areas: (1) diversity studies; (2) global issues; (3) the arts; (4) math, science, and technology. Satisfying the UNC Board of Governors’ requirement for an academic concentration, corollary studies are appropriate for expanding and deepening the pre-service elementary teacher’s knowledge, appreciation, and skills in the area appropriate to the elementary-school classroom and curriculum. See your academic advisor for a more complete list of recommendations for corollary-studies areas.

Associate in Science - Pre-Major
Biology and Biology Education
Curriculum Description
The Associate in Science degree shall be granted for a planned program of study consisting of a minimum of 64 and a maximum of 65 semester hours of college transfer courses. (Ref. 23 NCAC 2E 0204) Within the degree program, the institution shall include opportunities for the achievement of competence in reading, writing, oral communication, fundamental mathematical skills, and the basic use of computers.
Courses are approved for transfer through the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement. Community college graduates who have earned 64 semester hours of academic credit in approved transfer courses with a grade of “C” or better in each course and an overall GPA of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale will receive at least 64 semester hours of academic credit upon admission to a university. Courses may also transfer through bilateral agreements between institutions. Courses offered through bilateral agreements may not transfer to all receiving institutions.
The following represents one way in which the program of study can be completed. Students who aren’t able to follow the plan should consult their academic advisor to be sure that they take courses in the best order for their success.

Cardiovascular Sonography
Curriculum Description
The Cardiovascular Sonography curriculum provides the individual with the knowledge and skills necessary to acquire, process, and evaluate the human heart and vascular structures. A cardiovascular sonographer uses high frequency sound waves to produce images of the heart and vascular structures.
Course work includes effective communication and patient care skills combined with a knowledge of physics, human anatomy, physiology, and pathology, all of which are essential to obtaining high quality sonographic images.
Graduates may be eligible to apply to the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers for examinations in physics, cardiovascular physics, vascular physics, and adult echocardiography. Graduates may find employment in hospitals, physicians’ offices, mobile services, and educational institutions.
The following represents one way in which the program of study can be completed. Students who aren’t able to follow this plan should consult their academic advisor to be sure that they take courses in the best order for their success.

Program Information
This program has limited enrollment and has deadline requirements. Students are chosen by a selective admissions process based on grades earned in required related courses (i.e., biology, communications and psychology). The Admissions Office can provide additional information on the selection process. Dental Assisting students are required to maintain a C average in both lecture and laboratory in order to satisfactorily complete any course in the program. Students are allowed to make one (1) D in a DEN or BIO course and continue on academic probation. If students make a second D or the first F in any DEN or BIO courses, then they are not allowed to continue in the full-time program.
Accreditation does require a specific number of class, lab and clinical hours for the student to graduate, so there are strict attendance rules. If the student surpasses the allowed number of hours missed, they will be dropped from the program and will have to reapply for the next year. Readmission may be possible but requires reapplying and approval by the college.
*Students should select this course if they plan on enrolling in the Dental Hygiene program.
Criminal Background Checks/Drug Screening
Clinical agencies require criminal background checks and/or drug screening for students assigned to their facility for clinical education. In addition, national and/or state registry and/or licensure boards may prohibit eligibility for registry or licensure based on criminal background records. Please refer to the Health Technologies section on www.forsythtech.edu.
**Hours will vary depending on course selection.

Developmental Education
Curriculum Description
Developmental Education provides students with an opportunity to build academic skills and acquire the background which should facilitate success in their desired program of study.
For applicants to a program of study who, on the basis of test results and past performance, do not qualify for immediate admission to their chosen program of study, noncredit developmental course work is available and may be required as a prerequisite for registration in specific credit courses. Students taking the required development work may also take specified courses within their desired program of study.
Students may transfer all applicable credit courses into their program of study when the criteria has been met and developmental and selected program courses have been completed. All credit courses within the student’s chosen program of study will then be applied toward graduation.
Some developmental courses are also open to students who wish to take them for personal benefit.
This program offers a series of courses for preparation, remediation and guidance for students who, for a variety of reasons, do not meet the specific entrance requirements for the program of their choice. Students who do meet the minimum entrance requirements but whose previous academic records indicate that they may have difficulty in successfully completing their programs are also advised to complete the necessary course work in the Developmental Education program.
The student’s academic program will be individually designed to meet their specific preparatory and remedial needs. The courses will be selected from the developmental offerings and from technical and/or vocational credit courses. Developmental education courses do not earn credit towards graduation from degree, diploma and certificate programs.

If you have worked in the past for any of your chosen health program’s designated clinical sites, and been released with a status of “No Rehire”, you will not be eligible for clinical rotation to any clinical site that the facility is affiliated with. If this occurs and you are not able to meet your program competency requirements due to specialty of services offered at a site or number of locations omitted from your clinical rotations, you will be withdrawn from the program.
