College Transfer Pathway
College Transfer Pathway
Start Here. Finish Anywhere.
The College Transfer Pathway is designed for students who plan to continue their education at a four-year college or university after graduating from Cabarrus Tech. This pathway provides a strong academic foundation while allowing students to earn an associate degree that transfers toward a bachelor's degree.
In addition to earning a high school diploma, students will graduate with one of the following associate degrees:
- Associate in Arts (AA)
- Associate in Arts in Teacher Preparation (AATP)
- Associate in Science (AS)
- Associate in Science in Teacher Preparation (ASTP)
To help students stay on track for their future, each student selects a pre-major that aligns with their intended bachelor's degree. These guided pathways allow students to complete college coursework that supports their long-term academic and career goals.
Don't see the pre-major you're looking for? No problem. We'll work with you to create a customized pre-major that aligns with your interests and the requirements of your intended college or university.
Wherever your future takes you, the College Transfer Pathway helps you get there with a head start, significant college credit, and a clear plan for success.

College Transfer Pre-Majors
Pre-Majors are designed to help students get a start on courses they will need for their bachelor’s degree. They also help students unsure of a future major by allowing them to take a sample of courses from a specific major. Included are the pre-majors that are available to our students here at Cabarrus Tech. The courses listed in each pre-major are a representation of eligible courses taken from multiple NC universities. As students move closer to graduation and have a clearer picture of the school they wish to attend, these plans can be modified to fit a specific school. While these pre-majors represent our more common student choices, pre-majors can be developed even if they are not listed here.
