This program is a collaborative effort between Randolph Community College and Guilford Technical Community College. This agreement allows for RCC to have one student slot every odd year. RCC students will take all general education requirements on the RCC campus and will transfer to GTCC for all major courses and completion of the program. Students will need to apply also at GTCC.
