BCC Announces Guaranteed Admissions Pathway with Western Carolina University

Brunswick Community College (BCC) is excited to announce WCU Connect, a new guaranteed admissions pathway with Western Carolina University that will offer BCC students a smooth, supported route to completing a bachelor’s degree.
WCU Connect is open to students at any point in their community college journey. The program is non-binding, allowing students to keep their options open while benefiting from early advising, university resources, and a direct connection to Western Carolina as they complete their associate degree.
Through this pathway, students will:
- Receive guidance on selecting courses that best support transfer success
- Gain access to WCU student support services and academic planning tools
- Build relationships with university advisors before transferring
- Enjoy a clear, streamlined process to admission after meeting program requirements
“Students thrive when they know what’s possible and when they have support to get there,” said Dr. Gene Smith, President of Brunswick Community College. “WCU Connect gives students a direct line to the next chapter of their education and career. We are proud to offer another strong pathway that helps students move confidently toward their goals.”
