The University of North Carolina at Charlotte is open to people of all races and is committed to equality of
educational opportunity and does not discriminate against applicants, students, or employees based on race,
color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, or disability.
In joining Niner Nation, you become part of a community in which students, faculty, and staff work
collaboratively to identify and address the needs of the greater Charlotte region. We have a stake in
the quality of life of the citizens of the communities we serve, so we constantly are pioneering new
ways to drive economic growth and to meet the regions environmental, health, and social needs.
We know that college is more than textbooks and classes, so we encourage you to become actively
engaged on campus. Explore all the possibilities available study abroad offerings for greater global
awareness; leadership and volunteer opportunities; cultural events and lectures; intramural sports;
and, of course, we want to see you cheering on your Charlotte 49er athletic teams wherever they

In the not-too-distant future, the citys light rail expansion onto campus will provide a quick,
convenient avenue to UNC Charlotte Center City, situated in the heart of Uptown Charlotte. This
facility is a hub for a number of our graduate programs, and its location provides the University a
place to convene influential civic, business, and community leaders around thought-provoking
topics. Access to these leaders, and connections you may establish with them, could prove valuable
to your educational pursuits and career prospects.
Other exciting developments on the horizon include construction of a new student counseling
center, an admissions and visitors center, and a beautifully redesigned Belk Plaza. And, of course, with the recent passage of the Connect NC bond,
we are also in the planning stage of a new and much-needed science facility.

This Catalog is divided into three sections. The first section contains student information about attending the
University, such as the academic calendar, the degree programs offered, admission, student conduct, degree
requirements and academic policies, and financial information, including tuition and fees and financial aid.
The second (or curriculum) section describes the Universitys academic programs in detail. The section is organized in
alphabetical order by the seven academic colleges, followed by each individual department or program, plus University
College and the Honors College. The section ends with an alphabetical listing of all courses offered.
The third and final section contains information about student life on campus, academic resources, and student
services, as well as a faculty directory and glossary of higher education terminology. Rounding out this section is an
index, which is helpful in locating a topic quickly.
New undergraduate degrees and programs that appear for the first time in this Catalog include:
Honors Program in English
The University reserves the right to change any of the rules and regulations of the University at any time, including
those relating to admission, instruction, and graduation. The University also reserves the right to withdraw curricula
and specific courses, alter course content, change the calendar, and to impose or increase fees. All such changes are
effective as proper authorities determine and may apply not only to prospective students, but also to those who are
already enrolled in the University.
The requirements specified in this Catalog apply to students who commence their studies at UNC Charlotte during the
2016-2017 academic year and who remain in continuous enrollment at the institution until they graduate. If
requirements are changed, students may elect to comply with the new requirements or to remain under the
Students who change their major/minor are bound by the requirements of their new major/minor that are in effect the
semester they officially begin studies in the new program.
Students who are readmitted to the University are bound by the program and degree requirements in force at the time
of readmission.
Exceptions to these policies may be necessitated by changes in course offerings, degree programs, or by action of
authorities higher than the University. In that event, every effort will be made to avoid penalizing the student.
Student Responsibility
Each student is responsible for the proper completion of his or her academic program, for familiarity with the Catalog,
for maintaining the grade point average required, and for meeting all other degree requirements. Students assume
academic and financial responsibility for the courses in which they enroll and are relieved of these responsibilities only
by formally terminating enrollment. The advisor will counsel, but the final responsibility remains that of the student.
A student is required to have knowledge of and observe all regulations pertaining to campus life and student behavior.
Students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with academic terminology located in the Glossary section of this
Catalog.
Email is the official form of communication at the University; each student is responsible for checking their uncc.edu
email regularly, as well as maintaining communication with the University and keeping a current address and
telephone number on file with the Office of the Registrar.
While associated with the University, each student is expected to participate in campus and community life in a
manner that will reflect credibly upon the student and the University. The University has enacted two codes of student
responsibility --The UNC Charlotte Code of Student Academic Integrity and The UNC Charlotte Code of Student
Responsibility -- which are summarized in this Catalog and available in full online at legal.uncc.edu/policies/chapter-
400. As students willingly accept the benefits of membership in the UNC Charlotte academic community, they acquire
obligations to observe and uphold the principles and standards that define the terms of UNC Charlotte community
cooperation and make those benefits possible. This includes completion of institutional surveys as requested by the
University for program assessment and improvement.

Alma Mater
UNC Charlotte's Alma Mater has deep roots in the
institution's history. It was part of an "Academic
Festival March" composed for UNC Charlotte by James
Helme Sutcliffe, a Charlotte composer and music critic
who lived in Germany at the time. Dr. Loy
Witherspoon, professor of
religious studies,
commissioned the
March in 1965
when he learned
that Charlotte College
would become a campus of The University of North
Carolina. The March was first performed in 1967 at
the installation of Dean W. Colvard as UNC Charlotte's
first chancellor. Afterwards, it was performed as a
recessional at every Commencement during Dean W.
Colvard's tenure as chancellor. When UNC Charlotte
founder Bonnie Cone heard the March, she said, "I can
hear an alma mater in it," referring to a hymn-like
refrain. Dr. Robert Rieke, a professor of history, also
heard an alma mater in it.
The University considers applications for admission without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual

The University of North Carolina at Charlotte has enacted two codes governing student conduct: The Code of Student
Academic Integrity and The Code of Student Responsibility. The University has also enacted a program for the
prevention of the use of illegal drugs and alcohol abuse, as well as a policy regulating smoking on campus. All UNC
Charlotte students are obligated to be familiar with these codes and policies and to conduct themselves in accordance
with the standards set forth.
Additionally, the Student Government Association has created a code called The Noble Niner that solidifies the high
standard of morals, principles, and integrity that all students should strive to uphold to bolster the growing reputation of
excellence at UNC Charlotte.

The primary mission of the College of Arts + Architecture is to provide programs that prepare graduates for careers as
architects, artists, leaders, cultural administrators, and innovators in our emerging creative economy. The college
draws together in a single academic unit disciplines with common histories, methods of inquiry, and potential for
contributions to the community. It serves to enhance creative, professional, and cultural production within the
University of North Carolina at Charlotte and to help lead the creative economy in the region and state. The college is
responsive to both cross-cultural exchange and crossover research and programming and seeks to provide new
connections to the public realm and new opportunities for community leadership. The arts and architecture have a
long history of collaboration; they require analysis and interpretation of information and media; and they demand
imagination regarding the realms of communication, technology, economic change, and diversity.

assessment of candidates and programs for the purpose of continuous improvement, to collaboration and
outreach, and to the highest standards of professional practice and scholarship. We are committed to
international understanding and involvement.
In fulfilling our professional roles, we are committed to the generation, dissemination, and application of

commitment to teaching, research, and service. We have a strong commitment to academic excellence and
exceptional quality in all that we do.
In our dealings with each other, our students, and our professional colleagues in schools and communities, we
are committed to valuing diversity and to speaking out against oppression. We are committed to
thoughtfulness, reflection, flexibility, and the exploration of new ideas. We are committed to openness, honesty,
forthrightness, and the highest standards of integrity and ethical behavior. We strive to be collegial,
collaborative, human, and respectful of others, even when we are not in total agreement with their views or

The College is the engineering college of first choice for students, faculty, staff, and industry partners
discovering, integrating, applying, and disseminating knowledge.
The College provides quality educational experiences and discovers and disseminates knowledge that serves the
citizens and industries of the Carolinas, and the national and the international communities.
The Lee College offers baccalaureate degree programs in Engineering, Engineering Technology, and Construction
Management. On the graduate level, the College offers programs leading to masters degrees in Engineering,
Construction and Facilities Management, Energy and Electromechanical Systems, Fire Protection and Administration,
and Engineering Management; the Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and in Mechanical Engineering; and an
interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Infrastructure and Environmental Systems. For details on the graduate programs, refer to the
UNC Charlotte Graduate Catalog.
Degree Programs
Engineering Programs
The baccalaureate programs in engineering offer a professional engineering education that can be used as the
foundation for several different career objectives: careers as professional engineers in industry, business, or consulting;
graduate study to prepare for careers in research, development, or teaching; and a more general and more liberal
engineering education with the objective of keeping a variety of career avenues open. The baccalaureate programs in
civil, computer, electrical, mechanical, and systems engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation
Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
Whatever the career objective of the student, a sound engineering educational program ensures that graduates have:
(a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering; (b) an ability to design and conduct
experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data; (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet
desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety,
manufacturability, and sustainability; (d) an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams; (e) an ability to identify,
formulate, and solve engineering problems; (f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility; (g) an ability
to communicate effectively; (h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a
global, economic, environmental, and societal context; (i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-
long learning; (j) a knowledge of contemporary issues; and (k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern tools
necessary for engineering practice. The course of study will involve the humanities, social sciences, physical sciences,
mathematics, and engineering sciences and design. The student expecting to accept employment in industry may
emphasize the engineering design and engineering science aspects of his or her program, while the student preparing
for graduate study might emphasize the mathematics and science aspects. Some engineering graduates ultimately
take on executive and management responsibilities in industries and firms that are based upon engineering products
and engineering services. Such students may choose to construct an elective option in their program, including
economics and business-related courses that strengthen their communication skills and other non-technical skills.

Engineering technology programs are characterized by their focus on application and practice and by their
approximately equal mix of theory, practice, and laboratory experience. The baccalaureate programs in civil, electrical,
and mechanical engineering technology are accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of
ABET, http://www.abet.org.
Graduates of the engineering technology programs are recruited by most major technological companies in the U.S.
They are employed across the technological spectrum but are best suited to areas that deal with application,
implementation, production, and construction. Technical sales and customer service fields also account for many
placements.
Engineering technology students are encouraged to pursue the requirements for registration as a Professional Engineer.
The first step in the registration process is the successful completion of the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE)
Examination. Students are encouraged to take this examination during their Senior year. Additional requirements for
professional licensure following graduation include the accumulation of at least eight years of progressive experience
and successful completion of the Professional Engineer Examination (PE Exam). Students who complete the
Cooperative Education Program or who complete their masters degree only need seven years of progressive
engineering experience to be eligible to take the PE Exam in North Carolina.
Majors
Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (BSET)
The program is enhanced by a business/management core that includes courses in statistics, computer applications,
economics, accounting, engineering economics, business management, business law, finance, and construction law.
The Construction Management program shares a common lower division (Freshman and Sophomore year) curriculum
Majors
Bachelor of Science in Construction Management (BSCM)
Engineering Undecided (ENGR) and Engineering Technology Undecided (ETGR) are designations for new freshmen
who qualify for admission to an engineering or engineering technology major but who have not decided which program
they desire. ENGR students must work with their academic advisor to
choose and declare a program of study by the completion of their
Freshman year. ETGR students are encouraged to choose a major by
the time they attend summer orientation and registration because they
take discipline-specific courses in the Freshman year.
Students in the civil, computer, electrical, and systems engineering programs may take a course in their curriculum a
maximum of three times, including withdrawing from the course with a grade of W. Students in the mechanical
engineering program may take a course in their curriculum a maximum of two times, including withdrawing from the
course with a grade of W. Failure to achieve a satisfactory grade in a course to progress in the program within the
allowed attempts will result in no longer being permitted to enroll in courses in the declared engineering program.
All engineering courses at the 2000-level and above used to satisfy degree requirements within the College of
Engineering are restricted to majors and minors of the college. Students enrolling in these courses must meet the
prerequisite requirements for enrollment. Others wishing to enroll in these courses must obtain departmental
authorization.
A student who has been suspended by the University must follow University guidelines for appeal. Readmission to the
College of Engineering after a University suspension is not automatic. An application for readmission must be made by
the student and approved by the College/department. Students who are readmitted by the College of Engineering after
suspension by the University must meet requirements for continued enrollment appropriate to their individual situation.
These requirements are specified in a Continuation Agreement that is mutually agreed upon and signed by the
student and his/her appropriate advisor. The consequences of failure to meet the requirements of the agreement may
be articulated in the agreement itself. However, if these consequences are not included in the agreement, failure to
meet the requirements will automatically result in the students not being permitted to continue to enroll in College of
Engineering courses.
Honors Program
The Engineering Honors Program provides students with access to opportunities designed to stimulate their thinking
and broaden their exposure to topics related to the professional practice of engineering and engineering design. The
Engineering Honors Program is committed to the highest principles of professional practice that guide our decision
making. We are a community of learners actively engaged in academic scholarship while demonstrating the highest
regard for others by modeling the ethical standards that protect the public safety. We promote service to community
above the self and support, encourage, educate, and value others. We promote these core values among the members
of the program.
Admission Requirements
Students interested in being admitted to the Engineering Honors Program must be enrolled in the Senior Design
capstone experience in their home department. Admission to the program is based on the student's demonstrated
Honors potential and is determined by examining the cumulative GPA (minimum 3.5 for currently enrolled or transfer
students), academic and other distinctions, activities, and other related factors. All admitted students must maintain a
minimum 3.5 cumulative GPA at UNC Charlotte to remain a member of the program. Students failing to meet
minimum cumulative GPA will be dismissed from the program.
Program Requirements
Students in the Engineering Honors Program must complete Engineering Honors Seminar I and II in conjunction with
the respective Senior Design capstone course required for their program of study.
Graduation Requirements
To graduate with "Honors in Engineering," a student must complete the required seminar course sequence and submit
an application for Honors Candidacy at least one semester prior to graduation. A cumulative GPA of at least 3.5 overall
and a grade of A must be earned in the departmental Senior Design capstone project.
To be eligible for the Co-op program, a student must have completed at least 30 credit hours at UNC Charlotte
including a number of specified courses with a minimum GPA of 2.5. A transfer student is expected to have
completed at least 12 hours at UNC Charlotte.
For an undergraduate to be officially designated as a Co-op student, he or she must participate in at least three full-
time semesters of work experience (three work sessions and three seminar courses). Consequently, participation in
Co-op Education usually means that graduation can be delayed up to one year. However, students who participate in
Co-op traditionally are more highly recruited at higher starting salaries than other students.
Students interested in learning more about the advantages and opportunities of participating in this program should
contact the Colleges Director for Student Professional Development and Employer Relations or the University Career
Center. For details, visit osds.uncc.edu/professional-development/co-ops.
Domestic Internships
A number of opportunities for non-credit internships, called 49erships and Service 49erships, exist for students at local
and regional employers. Internships for College of Engineering students are almost always paid positions. A minimum
of 80 work hours need to be completed in no less than five weeks for one semester to successfully complete the
49ership program. Fall and Spring 49erships are part-time. Summer 49erships may be full- or part-time. Full-time
Internships do not offer academic credit, but students do receive transcript notation. Approval for enrollment must be
arranged before the student begins the work experience, and students pay a course registration fee. Students may
begin this program during their Sophomore year. Transfer students must complete 12 credit hours at UNC Charlotte
before making application for the program.
Students interested in learning more about the advantages and opportunities of participating in this program should
contact the Colleges Director for Student Professional Development and Employer Relations or the University Career
Center. For details, visit osds.uncc.edu/professional-development/internships49erships.

placed on providing strong interdisciplinary programs. The College also strives to promote inter-cultural understanding
through its curriculum, as well as through student exchanges and travel opportunities.
Degree Requirements
General Education Requirements
Since all students entering the University must meet the same General Education requirements regardless of major, it
is appropriate to concentrate on the completion of those requirements before committing to a specific major.
Undeclared students have time to enroll in courses in several disciplines, which allows them to make a more informed
judgment about future career decisions. Advisors have a broad working experience with the requirements for majors
and offer assistance as students search for the education choice best suited to their individual needs.
300 | College of Liberal Arts & Sciences 2016-2017 UNC CHARLOTTE UNDERGRADUATE CATALOG
degree requirements. Some departments in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences require completion of a minor
program of study in conjunction with their major degree program. Students should be familiar with the requirements of
any minor program of study they attempt to complete.
Proficiency can be demonstrated in the following ways: (1) completing the required coursework at UNC Charlotte; (2)
completing three years of the same foreign language in high school through level three; (3) achieving a satisfactory
score on the foreign languages placement test; (4) through approved transfer or transient credit earned at other
accredited institutions; (5) by transferring in with an A.A., A.S. or A.F.A. degree; or (6) a combination of the above
methods (e.g., placing out of or earning transfer or transient credit for 1201 and completing the 1202 course,
completing 1201 and placing out of or earning transfer or transient credit for 1202).
This requirement will apply to all students entering any degree program within the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences
Fall 2005 and beyond, except those students whose primary major is in Engineering and are enrolled in either the dual
degree program in Mechanical Engineering and Physics or the program in Electrical and Computer Engineering and
Physics which were approved and implemented prior to Fall of 2006. Students enrolled in the University prior to Fall
2005 but not enrolled in a degree program in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences Fall 2005 and beyond will be
subject to this requirement, except those students whose primary major is in Engineering and are enrolled in either the
dual degree program in Mechanical Engineering and Physics or the program in Electrical and Computer Engineering
and Physics which were approved and implemented prior to Fall of 2006.
Although all students in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences are subject to the 1202 proficiency requirement,
students in selected departments will additionally have to satisfy a proficiency requirement through the intermediate
(2000) level. All students in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences should consult with their major department to
determine whether or not they are required to complete the intermediate proficiency requirement as part of their major
or related coursework.
Advising Center
The College of Liberal Arts & Sciences administers an advising center for students who have enrolled in a major or pre-
major within the college. College advisors are available to provide guidance on both major requirements and General
Education requirements. Students enrolled in all College of Liberal Arts & Sciences majors are encouraged to consult
with college advisors to clarify academic regulations and check their progress toward fulfilling requirements.

Degree Programs
The Department of Chemistry offers two B.S. degree
programs approved by the American Chemical Society
(ACS), two non-ACS-certified B.S. degree programs
and a research-based M.S. degree, which provide the
background necessary for a career in industry or for
further graduate studies in chemistry and related fields.
In addition, a B.A. degree in chemistry is available for
students who plan to pursue a career in chemical
industry, secondary education, or professional studies
in areas such as medicine, dentistry, veterinary
medicine, and optometry. A minimum chemistry GPA
of 2.0 is required in the B.S. and B.A. degree
programs.
Academic Advising
Students are urged to consult with their academic
advisors every semester. Students should work with
their academic advisors to develop a long-range plan
for academic progress rather than merely selecting
courses on a semester-by-semester basis.
Other Programs
Programs leading to careers in pharmacy and chemical
engineering are available in cooperation with other
institutions. Please see the Preparation for

College
The Honors College offers academically talented and highly motivated students opportunities for intellectual breadth,
undergraduate research, service learning, and a community feeling within the context of a large public research
university. Comprised of several distinct honors programs, each with its own standards for admission and
requirements for graduation, the Honors College is a campus hub for undergraduate honors courses, enrichment
opportunities, Crown Scholars, merit scholarships, study abroad, community service, faculty lectures, and University-
wide advising for pre-health professions and prestigious award nominations. An honors residence option is also
available for all students in the Honors College.
Requirements
To graduate with University Honors Program Distinction, students must satisfy the following requirements:
1) HONR 1700 (Freshman Honors Colloquium) with a passing grade (if entering the program as a First-Year student
in the Fall semester)
2) LBST 2215 (Citizenship) in the Sophomore year or higher (Honors sections only)
3) 15 hours of HONR courses and/or Honors sections of LBST courses
4) Complete the Application to Candidacy process for graduating with Honors, as directed by the Honors College
5) HONR 3791 (Honors Senior Project), or an approved discipline-based honors thesis/project, with a grade of A

Students may graduate with dual honors by completing all departmental/college honors requirements, in addition to
UHP requirements. In this case, the departmental thesis will satisfy the UHP project requirement.
Students in dual honors programs may count one 3000-level honors course toward their 15 hours of honors electives.
Students studying aboard may request equivalency credits for honors coursework from the Director of the University
Honors Program.
Residence
University Honors Program students are encouraged to live in the Honors College residence, Levine Hall, which
provides an environment especially conducive to study and cooperative learning.
Student Association
Students in the University Honors Program are also part of the University Honors Program Student Association. The
Information on how to apply and graduate with honors from a college or a specific academic discipline can be found in
this Catalog under each academic discipline with an honors program.
See the Degree Requirements and Academic Policies section of this Catalog for details on the General Education
Program at UNC Charlotte.
Learning Communities
Learning Communities bring new students together with courses and extracurricular activities that are focused
around a common theme or topic. Learning Communities require a full year commitment. University College
students can choose among several Learning Communities. These include the joint University College/College of
Liberal Arts & Sciences (UCLAS), Global Village, Gender Excellence, Leadership, and UTOP. For more information,
visit the Learning Communities website at lc.uncc.edu.
Freshman Seminars
Freshman Seminar courses (UCOL courses at the 1000-level) have been offered for more than 10 years. These
courses are taught by a diverse group of faculty, professional advisors, and Student Affairs professionals. Their
primary intent is to assist new students in making a successful transition to college by providing information and
tools to help students gain awareness of campus resources, by encouraging students to make connections to the
University community, and by developing strategies for academic and personal growth. Individual sections may
take a particular thematic focus while others are more general in their approach. A small program of Transfer
Seminars (UCOL 1011) is also available, providing similar support for new transfer students.
