Appalachian State Transfer Pathway

Start at CCC&TI. Transfer to App State.
Earn your Bachelor’s in Applied Physics.
Begin in our EET program and follow a clear, advisor-supported plan designed for transfer
success. Save on 
tuition, stay close to home, and move forward with confidence.

Why this Pathway?

  • Lower tuition for your first two years

  • Smaller classes and personalized support

  • Clear academic plan built for transfer

  • Strong foundation in math + physics

  • Finish with a bachelor’s degree from App State

How this works!

  1. Enroll in Electronics Engineering Technology at CCC&TI

  2. Follow the recommended course sequence (includes Calculus + Physics)

  3. Transfer to Appalachian State University (Boone campus only)

  4. Complete your Bachelor’s in Applied Physics

*This pathway is designed to remove the guesswork from transferring.

Courses You'll Take at CCC&TI

To prepare for upper-level coursework at Appalachian State, this pathway includes key math and physics courses such as Calculus I & II and College Physics I & II.

Starting with the A.A.S. in Electronics Engineering Technology gives students hands-on experience and a workforce-ready credential before transferring to Appalachian State University to complete a bachelor’s degree in Applied Physics.

Transfer Timeline Options at App State

Accelerated Path

  • Students can transfer after completing Calculus I & II and College Physics I & II at CCC&TI
  • Students may finish at App State in about 2 years + one summer session (varies by course availability/advising)

Standard Path

  • Students can transfer after completing Physics I (PHY 151)

  • To finish in 2.5 years, you must take PHY 2050 and PHY 3310 simultaneously in your second Spring semester. 
  • A 3.0+ GPA may be required for certain course combinations (per App State guidance)

    *Note: If GPA is below 3.0, these courses must be taken in separate semesters, adding an additional semester.
