Alamance Community College students who are interested in completing their bachelor’s degree at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro are guaranteed university enrollment if they earn an associate’s degree and maintain a 2.00 GPA while at ACC. ACC works directly with companies to help them develop products and give students an opportunity to work on real world industry projects for their final projects in the capstone course.
