School Description

Provided by Louisburg College

For more than 220 years, Louisburg College has been preparing students for success, offering associate degrees in arts and sciences and business, and sending more than 90% of its graduates to four-year colleges and universities. At Louisburg, before we teach you any subject, we teach you that you have something important to say, something significant to contribute. We help you find your voice, your vocation, your authentic self. If you are ready for this exciting journey, then take the next step and check us out in more depth.

Related by faith to the United Methodist Church, Louisburg College is committed to offering a supportive community which nurtures young men and women intellectually, culturally, socially, physically, and spiritually. As a two-year residential institution, we provide a bridge for students to make a successful transition from high school to senior colleges and universities.

The faculty at Louisburg is dedicated to the success of every student. Teaching and advising - not research - are our professors' primary responsibilities. Our dedicated faculty provide individual assistance, ensuring that each student is academically prepared to meet the requirements of major four-year colleges and universities. Faculty members keep generous office hours; most provide home phone numbers and e-mail addresses. You will not find graduate students teaching classes at Louisburg - only caring and concerned faculty members.

Students can take advantage of many opportunities outside the classroom. Along with numerous clubs and organizations, students can enjoy the performers who come to the campus, such as rock bands, rap deejays, and comedians. Raleigh, North Carolina's capital, is just 30 minutes away, and Durham, the City of Medicine, is only 45 minutes away, giving students a host of entertainment and cultural options.

Best Answer

It is possible, but keep in mind, other transfers finish at least 2 years worth of general education credits. They can go in and focus on courses for their major right away. You still need another year of general education...
