Robeson Community College graduates now have an even more straightforward path to earning a four-year degree at UNC Pembroke, thanks to the new BraveNation Advantage program.
This guaranteed admission transfer initiative provides RCC students with a seamless transition to UNCP upon completing their associate degree.
UNCP Chancellor Robin Gary Cummings and RCC Vice President Dr. Johnny Smith joined institutional leaders to celebrate the agreement during a ceremony at RCC. Chancellor Cummings emphasized the long-standing partnership between UNCP and RCC, highlighting its impact on students and the local community.
"This new pathway is a testament to our commitment to expanding educational opportunities for students," Cummings said in a press release.
UNCP has already established transfer agreements with RCC in several fields, including accounting, business, criminal justice, education, interdisciplinary studies and nursing.
“For southeastern North Carolina to grow economically, we must fully leverage our educational institutions to improve students' lives, strengthen communities and move our state forward," Cummings added in a press release.
The Guaranteed Admission Program aims to simplify the transfer process for RCC students by offering:
RCC students who complete 30 credit hours with a minimum 2.0 GPA will be encouraged to apply and receive conditional early admission to UNCP.
Dr. Kelly Brennan, UNCP’s vice chancellor for Enrollment Management, highlighted the success of RCC students at UNCP.
"We are thrilled to launch BraveNation Advantage. This initiative makes it easier to explain to students the kind of support they'll receive at RCC and UNCP," Brennan said in a press release.
