UNC-A mechatronics is also a 2+2 program. Presumably, either of these transfer paths starting at UNC-A or UNC-W requires applying to NCSU (and/or NC A&T and/or UNC-C) to transfer, needing a high GPA or competitive admission. Essentially, it would be like using UNC-A or UNC-W like one would use a (probably less expensive) community college.
