UNCP biology major Alexis Little was moved to tears as she read her official acceptance letter to Methodist University's physician assistant program.
"I immediately started crying. I've always known I wanted to be a public servant and, as a physician, I can offer people in my community a better quality of life through healthcare. By getting accepted to PA school, I'll have the opportunity to follow my dreams."
Little considers it an honor to be selected for the reputable program and credits the support and quality education she received at UNCP.
After completing an internship with Dr. Charlene Locklear, a UNCP alumnae and owner of TruCare Family Practice, Little is leaning toward a career in family medicine.

BEING A TRANSFER STUDENT CAN BE DIFFICULT, BUT UNCP HAS MADE THE PROCESS EASIER.”
Georges Friedli, Business Administration 2024
Students who attended a college or university after graduating from high school should apply for admission as a transfer applicant and meet the following requirements:
• 2.0 cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA)
• Students under the age of 21 will also be expected to meet the UNC System minimum admission requirements for freshmen
• Apply at uncp.edu/apply.
• A decision can be made off an unofficial transcript. But, official coursework cannot be entered until all official transcripts have been received.
• Send your official transcript to admissions@uncp.edu. Official transcripts can be ordered through Parchment or National Student Clearinghouse
• Access your BraveWeb account. BraveWeb is your digital gateway to a central self-service hub and your student email account known as BraveMail. You will receive many important communications to your BraveMail account, so be sure to check it regularly.
• Register for the required New Student Orientation, a comprehensive program designed to introduce you to campus life, academic resources and countless opportunities.
• Once you’ve registered for orientation, the New Student Orientation office will quickly notify you via BraveMail with instructions for scheduling a virtual advising and course registration appointment. Before your appointment, it’s a great idea to review your degree pathway, choose courses you’re interested in and submit all final transcripts to Undergraduate Admissions. If you haven’t received final transcripts yet, have unofficial ones and any available credit by examination scores ready to access during your appointment. If you decide to change your major before enrolling, simply email Undergraduate Admissions beforehand at admissions@uncp.edu.
