Students earning the Associate in Arts or the Associate in Science degree, after being accepted at a four-year university, transfer as juniors and receive 64 hours of credit for course work (with a grade of C or above) to satisfy the university's general education requirements. Also, community colleges now run on a semester schedule - making transferring to universities easier than ever.

Durham Tech has one of the best records in the state for preparing students to succeed when they transfer to universities. The majority of Durham Tech's University Transfer students enroll at UNC-Chapel Hill, N.C. State university, NC Central University, and UNC-Greensboro. In fact, University of North Carolina System reports reveal that students transferring from DurhamTech to UNC-Chapel Hill earn an average grade point average (GPA) of 2.9 after the first semester there - one of the highest averages for transfer students from community colleges in North Carolina. Durham Tech transfer students entering NC State University's engineering school also have an impressive record of strong grade point averages and success in completing their program of study.

At Durham Tech, students find small classes, low costs, and caring instructors. In fact, the average class size is just 20 students. Students can enjoy a multicultural campus and expand their horizons through participating in a variety of clubs and extracurricular activities.
