Welcome to the UNC-NCCCS 2+2 Degree Program Site

The University of North Carolina and the North Carolina Community College System received legislative funding in 2005 for the UNC-NCCCS 2+2 E-Learning Initiative. The funds were to be used to further develop courses for 2+2 online programs in mutually agreed upon high-need areas. The two systems have focused on creating online degree programs primarily in teacher education, especially high-need licensure areas. This strategy is resulting in full, four-year, articulated online degree programs—accessible from anywhere in North Carolina—that can be used to increase the number of teachers being produced, especially in high-need content areas. Initial areas identified for 2+2 online program development are

Mathematics Secondary Education
Science Secondary Education (specific fields and comprehensive)
Middle Grades Education (concentrations in mathematics and science)
Special Education (general curriculum licensure)
Elementary Education
Birth through Kindergarten
